Description
The Freedom Model for Addictions challenges the conventional understanding of addiction and recovery. This book debunks the idea that addiction is a disease and that recovery is necessary after abstaining or moderating use. Instead, it presents a habit-based approach, suggesting that addictions can be broken with the right knowledge. The authors, with over 30 years of experience in researching and helping individuals with addiction, argue that the rehab industry is often more focused on profit than providing genuine support. They provide a path out of the 12-step culture and rehab institutions, offering a more empowered state of mind. By understanding the true nature of addiction, readers can take control of their lives and break free from the cycle of addiction. This book offers a fresh perspective on addiction and recovery, one that is grounded in sound science and free from myth. It is a valuable resource for those seeking to understand and overcome addiction, and to move beyond the limitations of traditional treatment approaches.
