How is your book helping others?
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.
