THE ANATOMY OF ADDICTION

As compelling as it is informative and authoritative, THE ANATOMY OF ADDICTION is the only science and evidence-based book to clearly set out the causes, prevention, and treatment of alcohol and drug addiction.

It addresses addiction as a chronic brain disease with a pronounced genetic predisposition and provides actionable, effective solutions for addicts and their families—and details how to avoid so-called rehab clinics that are at best useless and, at worst, life threatening.
