other biological illness such as asthma or Parkinson’s disease [and] recommends a
doable treatment plan that combines mediation, counseling, and lifestyle choices.”

every level, and he saved and changed my life in a matter of minutes. He was the
only treatment professional to show me that with the help of science, the truth
about addiction, and a balanced treatment approach, I could have my life and
family back. That was 13 years ago and I’ve never looked back. We are not powerless
over addiction and this book tells you exactly why.”
