Beyond the Influence
Beyond the Influence
ALCOHOLISM IS A DISEASE. IT’S TIME WE STARTED TREATING IT LIKE ONE.Science has offered undisputed proof that alcoholism is a disease rather than a weakness of character, yet millions of alcoholics continue to suffer due to inappropriate treatment. Now the co-author of the modern classic Under the Influence has teamed up with prominent alcoholism policy and treatment experts to examine the reasons why alcoholism continues to plague our nation in epidemic proportions.Based on the latest scientific research, Beyond the Influence clearly explains the neurological nature of the disease and reveals why some people drink addictively while others do not. Beyond the Influence also spells out exactly what needs to be done to treat alcoholism, including: — A step-by-step guide to intervention– The crucial components of an effective treatment program– The most successful types of psychological counseling– The spiritual elements essential for recovery– Methods for preventing relapses– Nontraditional treatments, including diet, exercise, and acupuncture– Ways to dispel the liquor-industry myth that alcohol is a benign drug that causes addiction only in those who abuse itProvocative and eye-opening, compelling and compassionate, Beyond the Influence is not only a message of hope for alcoholics — it is a blueprint for saving lives.
