A groundbreaking examination of addiction from a psychiatrist and
public health doctor, offering practical, proven solutions for
individuals, families, and communities dealing with substance use
and abuse. Written with warmth, accessibility, and vast authority,
The Addiction Solution is a practical guide through the world of
drug use and abuse and addiction treatment. Here, Lloyd I. Sederer,
MD, brings together scientific and clinical knowledge, policy
suggestions, and case studies to describe our current drug crisis
and establish a clear path forward to recovery and health. In a
time when so many people are affected by the addiction epidemic,
when 142 people die of overdoses every day in the United States,
principally from opioids, Sederer's decades of wisdom and clinical
experience are needed more than ever before. With a timely focus on
opioids, Sederer takes us through the proven essentials of
addiction treatment and explains why so many of our current
policies, like the lingering remnants of the War on Drugs, fail to
help drug users, their families, and their wider communities. He
identifies a key insight, often overlooked in popular and
professional writing about addiction and its treatment: namely,
that people who use drugs do so to meet specific needs, and that
drugs may be the best solution those people currently have. Writing
with generosity and empathy about the many Americans who use
illicit and prescribed substances, Sederer lays out specific,
evidence-based, researched solutions to the prevention and problems
of drug use, including exercise, medications, therapy, recovery
programs, and community services. In this challenging time, The
Addiction Solution provides practical help, comfort, and hope.
