In Recovery Options: The Complete Guide, you will learn what
addictionis--and what it isn't. You will examine both the mechanism
of addiction and how you can make the best treatment choices . . .
why some people are particularly prone to substance problems . . .
and the genetic and learning mechanisms that help create these
conditions. You'll explore the various types of treatment and the
ideas on which they are based, and find out how effective each
treatment is--and which ones are not effective. Finally, you'll
find supportive information on staying clean and sober, preventing
relapse, and minimizing damage caused by slips that may occur.
Featuring the dramatic real-life stories of patients' experiences
(both good and bad) with various methods of recovery, this warm,
sympathetic, and accessible guide to overcoming alcohol and other
drug problems will help you and your loved ones begin the journey
away from substance misuse toward a better life.
