A myth-shattering look at drug abuse and addiction treatment, based
on cutting-edge research
"Addiction is a preventable, treatable disease, not a moral
failing. As with other illnesses, the approaches most likely to
work are based on science -- not on faith, tradition, contrition,
or wishful thinking. "These facts are the foundation of "Clean."
The existing addiction treatments, including Twelve Step programs
and rehabs, have helped some, but they have failed to help many
more. To discover why, David Sheff spent time with scores of
scientists, doctors, counselors, and addicts and their families,
and explored the latest research in psychology, neuroscience, and
medicine. In "Clean, " he reveals how addiction really works, and
how we can combat it.
"A guide for those affected by addiction, but also a manifesto .
. . for America as it confronts its drug problem. Sheff] has
performed a vital service by compiling sensible advice on a subject
for which sensible advice is in short supply." -- "New York Times
Book Review
""As a journalist, father, and clear-eyed chronicler of addiction,
David Sheff is without peer." -- Sanjay Gupta, M.D., chief medical
correspondent, CNN
