Addiction invades every region and demographic in the United States, affecting more than 23 million Americans and putting families though a heartbreaking cycle of recovery and relapse. Many people give up and never find the right treatment that will enable them to break free of their addiction forever. Offering a radical new approach, clinical psychologist Dr. Morteza Khaleghi argues that the vast majority of drug and alcohol addiction is driven by an emotional trauma. A pioneer of the dual diagnosis recovery program, he treats the body for chemical dependency while simultaneously ministering to the emotional block that serves as a trigger for relapse. A regular advisor on the Dr. Phil show, Dr. Khaleghi has mapped out recovery plans for thousands of patients and their families. Well-known facilities such as Hazelden, Sierra Tucson, and the Betty Ford Center refer their toughest cases to him, looking to his vast experience and high rate of success. In this groundbreaking book, he teaches you the methods that have made him the therapist that other therapists turn to for advice. Families will learn how to • Recognize addictive behavior • Plan and stage effective interventions • Work on the family dynamics that enable addiction Patients will learn to • Become self aware about addictive behavior • Identify the emotional trauma that is at the heart of nearly every addiction • Detect early signs of relapse and take preemptive measures Drawing on over 20 years of experience healing patients, Dr. Khaleghi's insightful, nurturing and-- above all--breakthrough book is geared to anyone looking for help with dependency and to the spouses, parents, children, and friends who bear the brunt of this damaging disease.

From New York Times bestselling author of Symptoms of Withdrawal and Moments of Clarity Christopher Kennedy Lawford comes a book that will save lives. For most of his early life, Christopher Kennedy Lawford battled life-threatening drug and alcohol addictions.

"Teaching a person how to be happy naturally and in harmony with the real design, meaning and purpose of their life is the key to how they get the strength, joy and deep fulfillment that is necessary for them to have no inclination for alcohol or drugs," says Dennis Marcellino, author of Addiction Free Forever. "But," he says, "that's easier said than done, and can only happen within THE natural design of how we were made to operate. That requires first knowing what that design is, which has been made very difficult because there is a great amount of debate and disagreement in the world as to what that design really is. But the world in general obviously has it wrong if there exists such a huge drug and alcohol problem and poor social statistics." Having been at the top of the music business as a former member of Sly & The Family Stone, The Elvin Bishop Group and The Tokens (famous for The Lion Sleeps Tonight), he knows alcohol and drug abuse well. But after experimenting with 21 approaches to lifestyle, problem solving, fun and personal growth, he became free from alcohol and drugs 25 years ago (after 18 years of use). He now says that, "Fighting nature is not a battle that anyone can win and be happy. Therefore why even try? Understanding and flowing with the natural design is how to make inner, outer and social life work their best. Therefore if a person wants to be free from a weakness for alcohol or drugs, they will have to go through a re-orientation of how the mind, heart and body that they are in are designed to function smoothly, and they will have to know how to have the strength and vision to transform to that design." So to pass on what he discovered, he wrote a book and developed a program to go with it that, in a step by step way, helps a person to know, understand and be transformed into the natural design of their being. On the back cover of this book it says: You can't expect someone to "say no to drugs" until they have something better to say "yes" to! It goes on to say: "As an EX-alcoholic and EX-drug user (no longer a "recovering" one) for 25 years, I'm happy to present the method that accomplished that for me and that will work for anyone regardless of their circumstances. Willpower and the 12-step method didn't work for me. This program doesn't ask you to give up drugs or alcohol without first showing you how to have something better to take their place. This book will help you begin a new life where you will feel good naturally without having to medicate yourself just to get through the day, your job or life itself... or, in the pursuit of a thrill, subject yourself to the dangers of alcohol and drugs or the harm that it causes people in your life and your relationships with them. You will learn how to transform to a deeply fulfilling life with great meaning and purpose. Some reviews for addiction recovery books by Dennis Marcellino include the following: "Frank and friendly... sincere and optimistic... not only concerned with ridding people's lives of drugs, but also with leading them to a higher state of being and greater fulfillment as individuals. A sympathetic voice which will affect readers for the better. This book is personal rather than systematically therapeutic or a 'pop' treatment of a current social concern... touches upon the important factors of human life." says Corinne Perry Buck, Feature Review in The Small Press Book Review. "A carefully reasoned argument against drug use that goes further than telling people to 'just say no'-it offers real help for people who want to break free of the bondage of drugs," says Dr. John MacArthur Jr., popular author and radio and TV personality. "Very powerful material. An amazing piece of work by an amazing man," said Scott Fagan, head of the recovery unit at Brotman Hospital (one of L.A.'s largest). "I read your book and was very inspired to clean up my act. I'd like to order another copy for myself and one to pass on," says Theresa, Escondido, CA
