The Addiction Spectrum (ePub)

Opioid addiction is the single greatest public health crisis facing the US—it affects over 2 million people and kills 115 of them every single day. Drug overdose is now the leading cause of death for Americans under fifty. As opioid addiction skyrockets, more people than ever before are hooked on alcohol, stimulants, nicotine, and even screens. The face of addiction has changed, but our solutions are stuck in the past.

So what do you do if you are suffering from addiction? Or if you're worried a loved one may be at risk? Enter The Addiction Spectrum, a proven 13-point plan to change your destiny and get you free from the grip of addiction before it's too late.

Until now, we've been treating addiction as a black-or-white issue, a problem you either suffer from or will never face. But when it comes to recovery there are so many forces working against us: stress, undernourishment, sleep deprivation, vitamin D deficiency, and isolation, not to mention a flawed medical system and corrupt pharmaceutical companies doling out prescriptions at every turn. The truth is, addiction occurs on a spectrum, and the best way to treat it is with a holistic approach. Featuring individualized plans for specific substances, tips and tools for healing both the body and mind at every stage, and an emphasis on using natural solutions alongside the best of modern medicine, The Addiction Spectrum is the first comprehensive program for getting your life back.
