If one tries to imagine the amounts of money that have been spent
by federal and state governments, coupled with what has been spent
by private citizens in battling substance abuse over the last
thirty years, it would amount to an almost unimaginable figure.
There have been many books written that offer criticism
regarding the traditional twelve-step treatment approaches to
addiction. The problem has been that most of these efforts have
failed to offer a viable alternative to traditional treatment.
Those that have attempted to do so have merely suggested that
singular treatment strategies, such as Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, etc., should be
implemented in conjunction with traditional treatment.
"Misunderstanding Addiction" outlines a more holistic treatment
method that can be implemented in a variety of environmental
contexts that do not require patients to be institutionalized for
them to be effective.
"Misunderstanding Addiction" has the potential to radically
alter the way that addictions are treated in this country. At a
time when healthcare is foremost in the thoughts of our nation's
citizens, "Misunderstanding Addiction" offers a timely and
important look at how addiction treatment should be undertaken now
and in the future to ensure an effective outcome for the
patient.
