In a decade virtually exploding with drug addiction books, Janice Witt writes this one to the Parents, Husbands, Wives, and loved ones of those who suffer with the disease of addiction and are wondering if drug rehab or alcohol rehab is the best course of action. It is toward the end of ignorance that the Author writes a brief, research-based primer explicating the nature of addiction and effective drug addiction rehabilitation.. What continues to fuel the perpetual prejudice, against this disease and those who have it, is a culturally accepted array of misinformation and misunderstanding. This book addresses the issues surrounding drug addiction recovery, with research-based opinions regarding what kind of drug rehabilitation works best and for whom. Desperate and frightened, those who love addicted people suffer tremendously. In our society, drug addicts and

A new perspective on addiction As an attorney, I've seen the way addiction can completely devastate lives--not just of the addict but of his or her friends, mates, children, family members, and colleagues. I have seen the consequences of addiction play out in the criminal courtroom, in child custody proceedings, and even in professional license revocation proceedings. And I have seen that, despite everyone's best intentions, some methods of rehab just don't work for some people. That's why I think this book is such a valuable resource for anyone whose life is touched by addiction. It recognizes that one treatment plan may do wonders for one substance abuser but do. Smart, Thoughtful and Deep-Hearted Resource for Addicts and Their Support System I feel a lot of gratitude for the book and know it will be a great help to those in rehab, their families, and those looking for ways to keep clean after rehab. I really responded to the author's voice, which is full of heart, experience and support. She really gets it that an addict has been deeply betrayed by the drugs that once helped them cope with life, and how lost they feel at the point of beginning recovery. This guide is full of compassion, straight talk, support and life-saving information. It also is an excellent book for anyone who wants to truly understand what an addict is going through as he/she seeks recovery.Witt's c. "This Book Really Tells the Truth About Addiction and Recovery" according to E. Darrington. This well-written book really does tell the truth about addiction and recovery. It is an absolute must for addicts/alcoholics, family members, and addiction professionals. There are plenty of resources out there that list the primary treatment centers and their services. Choosing one is a different story, especially when the choosing usually happens when people are in crisis. As a former addiction professional and recovering addict, I have seen families be destroyed again and again by the disease of addiction. This book cogently highlights the practices and services that really will lead to lasting recovery. Not all treatment centers
