Description

This accessible book on drug addiction and recovery can help people confront addiction in their own lives and in their families.

DuPont explores the biological roots of addiction and the way addicts are allowed to deny their addiction by compassionate, well-meaning people. He advocates tough-love measures to strip away the denial that allows addicts to remain trapped and to move towards recovery. The Selfish Brain looks at various treatment options, especially 12-step programmes.
