Really useful information

As someone who used to work at the pain clinic, hearing about substance abuse and the opioid crisis is nothing new to me. Contrary to what many people believe, substance abuse is more common than you think. The issue is multidimensional and requires a comprehensive approach to address the problem. Environmental factor and social support from the people around the victim of substance abuse play a crucial role in rehabilitation and recovery. I find the information provided in this book quite accurate and love that it is presented in a compassionate, nonjudgmental way. The chapters are outlined in an easy to follow manner. The book even covers the scientific explanation of the various types of pain. I find the final chapter regarding natural remedy for substance abuse quite interested as you don't hear about them often in Western medicine and I appreciate that it was covered in the book as a supplementary treatment. Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this audiobook and it did not impact my review.

Relevant and Timely

This stuff may not be easy to hear, but it's important. It's astounding how big this issue is and the author takes care to have empathy while providing sound information that helps me understand further what side effects happen with certain opioids. Having the knowledge from this book can help someone use these responsibly if they have to be used at all. I appreciate that the author touches on non-drug options, however the reality is that some people may need opioids. It's a good idea to ask about other options as well. Such an informative book!

Fighting substance addiction

Very well done audiobook.
I think it can help all the people living a tough moment; there is always a way to escape and start again.
This book is so packed with useful information, and it is really motivating.
I would recommend it to everyone who is drug dependent or have someone in the family or friends and want to help them out.
Knowing is the key

Life-saving Information

I picked this book up because I have a friend going through rehab.

I have never taken drugs myself but I want to be there for her when she gets out. So, I picked up this book (and several others!) in the hopes that I could learn all I could so I can support her.

This book is, by far, the best on the subject.

Not only did I learn a little more about WHY she would do this, I learned how to tell if she's going to do it again and different things I could suggest she try instead.

I really do feel like reading this book has helped me become more compassionate and understanding of the difficult concept of being addicted to drugs. it's messy and it's nasty... but there's hope.

Not only is this book great for those of us who want to support our friends, it's also a great resource for someone who is trying to quit.

Milton backs up all of his findings with data and statistics. you can be sure that the information in this book is the most up to date scientific info out there.

I would recommend this book to anyone who seeks help or seeks to help.

Warning: This book will change your life

I could not be happier with the outcome of this book. I have family that need help with Opiod addiction and even though this book didn't apply to me; I found all the information revolutionary and transformative. The risks of not buying this book are too high even if you are not the only struggling with the addiction. This book has the power to completely change your life and should not be taken lightly. With great power comes great responsibility. - Uncle Ben

Great Advice on Abuse of Opioids

I liked this audiobook; Firstly it explains what pain is and I think it's important to understand that first to then being able to know why people get addicted to opioids. I also loved the part about non medical techniques to heal like meditation and so on. Overall, I can recommend this book to anyone affected by this topic.
