A Myth-Shattering Look at Drug Abuse and Addiction Treatment, Based on Cutting-Edge Research
Addiction is a preventable, treatable disease, not a moral failing. As with other illnesses, the approaches most likely to work are based on science — not on faith, tradition, contrition, or wishful thinking. These facts are the foundation of Clean, a guide that explores the latest research in psychology, neuroscience, and medicine to reveal how addiction really works and how we can combat it.
The existing addiction treatments, including Twelve Step programs and rehabs, have helped some, but they have failed to help many more. To discover why, David Sheff spent time with scores of scientists, doctors, counselors, and addicts and their families, and compiled their sensible advice on a subject for which sensible advice is often in short supply.
Sheff's findings challenge the conventional wisdom about addiction. He explains that addiction is not a moral failing, but a preventable and treatable disease. The approaches most likely to work are those based on science, not on faith, tradition, or wishful thinking. These insights form the foundation of Clean, a vital resource for those affected by addiction and a manifesto for America as it confronts its drug problem.
As a journalist, father, and clear-eyed chronicler of addiction, David Sheff is uniquely qualified to tackle this issue. His work has been praised by experts such as Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the chief medical correspondent for CNN, who has called Sheff "without peer" in his ability to address this complex and challenging topic.
Clean is a game-changing book that offers a new understanding of addiction and a roadmap to better treatment and prevention. By shattering myths and providing a science-based approach, Sheff empowers readers to take action and combat this devastating disease. Whether you are personally affected by addiction or concerned about the broader societal impact, Clean is an essential read that could save lives and transform the way we approach one of the most pressing public health crises of our time.
