Book Description

It has long been established that addiction or SUD - Substance Use Disorder - ruins lives and leads to illness, destruction of families, and death. Chasing the "high" often brings the user closer to death each time the use is increased even though the person may choose to ignore the risk. Effective treatment is essential to help recovering addicts change their lives and become productive citizens, leading happy lives in perpetual sobriety. Helping them adjust their focus from shame and guilt to improved self-esteem and renewed sense of purpose in life is essential for avoiding prolonged substance abuse.
