Addiction Is A Family Disease
Arthur D Dielhenn
At its core, "Addiction Is A Family Disease" is a pathway to understanding and/or recovering from the damage addiction inflicts on addicts, their families, friends, and employers. All are affected, some more severely than others, but all deserve the opportunity to heal, to leave chaos, guilt, and shame behind, no longer burdened or entrapped. Armed with a new gratitude for life all can re-build, contribute, love, laugh, and thrive again.

The Rehab Playbook
Jaime W. Vinck
We are in a mental health crisis – addiction, overdoses, depression and suicides are all on the rise. According to NIDA 2021 Data, 46.3 million people have a substance use disorder, yet only 6.3 % (2.9 million), get the care they need. The Rehab Playbook was written to reach the other 43 million.
Why are treatment and recovery elusive for so many? There are several reasons, including limited financial resources, lack of understanding of benefits, stigma and cultural implications. Another reason is fear – fear of the unknown, fear of facing one's inner demons and fear of the treatment process itself. The Rehab Playbook addresses those fears and provides clarity on what treatment is and isn't.
The Rehab Playbook demystifies treatment by providing those struggling with practical tools for finding quality care, an informative and compassionate perspective, and most importantly hope. The industry veteran author has been hands on in the fight against addiction for two decades.
