Millions of people enter or seriously consider entering alcohol
or drug treatment each year. In their understandable state of
urgency, most first-time treatment seekers and their loved ones may
rush to the first treatment option they encounter. They are
unlikely to be aware of why one form of intervention would be a
good choice for their particular problem or why some approaches
may, under some conditions, actually be harmful. Lacking reliable
information, they are unable to make informed choices.
Recovery from Addiction offers a concise, reader-friendly guide
for substance dependent persons, their families, and friends to
help make sense of the full range of available treatment
options.
Cloud and Granfield introduce readers to their options, from
inpatient and outpatient programs and today's major pharmacological
approaches to alternative therapies including strategies for using
the Internet to access support meetings and approaches which do not
call for life-long abstinence from the substances now causing the
problem. They outline the underlying principles of each program,
its pros and cons, and what a participant can expect when entering
that type of treatment, guiding readers in choosing the approach
likely to be best for them or their loved one. They also provide
specific strategies for addicted individuals who wish to consider
recovery on their own, without groups or treatment.
A vital resource for addicts wishing to recover and their loved
ones, Recovery from Addiction is also a valuable tool for health
care professionals, from social workers to school counselors,
responsible for referring clients to drug and alcohol recovery
programs.
