    About this audiobook

    Healing the Addicted Brain is a breakthrough work that focuses on treating drug and alcohol addiction as a biological disease-based on the Recovery Science program that has helped thousands of patients defeat their addictions. It combines the best behavioral addiction treatments with the latest scientific research into brain functions, providing tools and strategies designed to overcome the biological factors that cause addictive behavior along with proven treatments and medications.

    Using this scientific approach, you will learn to conquer the physical factors that keep people tied to drug and alcohol addiction. The proven fact is that addiction is not a moral failing or an issue of not having enough willpower. It is a disease of the brain that can and must be treated like other chronic medical illnesses-such as diabetes, hypertension, or asthma-in order to defeat the disease.

    This revolutionary program can triple the success rate of patients, from 20-30% to 90%.

    There is hope. By understanding addiction and using twenty-first-century breakthroughs, for the first time drug and alcohol addiction can be, and will be, defeated.

      This is very important that alcoholiism is an illness and people need help who suffer from this disease. Diabetes is also an illness and people get help with that, so why not alcoholism receive the same help in societty level? Myself was a big alcohol drinker through 29 years and stopped it for good in March 2018. At the moment I am searching for the secrets of my addiction and this book helps a lot. This book recovers the function of the brain and gives scientific background and explanations of alcoholism. It is also very useful that this book shows a way back to the normal life. All people shold read this book, people need more information how they can regain self-esteem. Highly recommended.

      This audio book is based on true research and statistics, the comprehensive holistic approach to overcoming addictions is fantastic, I'm digging deeper and I am going to incorporate all methods prescribed and some other extra therapy,systems I wish I had found this book earlier. I am in a full one year recovery facility at the moment I'm at Wagners hill in Langley BC this is the best place in the world for recovery, check them out on the web and get yourself in here.
