About this listen

Contrary to popular belief, addiction isn't a conscious choice. It's a chronic illness, like diabetes or asthma, that responds to treatment and deserves compassion. And yet, too many people expect their loved ones to simply recover on their own without interventions. Drawing on peer-reviewed research and decades of expertise, Dr. Nzinga Harrison reveals the factors that predict one's risk for addiction: biology and heritability, childhood experience, physical environment, injuries and health conditions, discrimination, and cultural influence. With revelatory anecdotes and sobering data, Un-Addiction guides listeners to unlearn what they think they know about substance use, undo stigma surrounding addiction, and uncover critical conversations that could end the epidemic.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Wow! This book is so insightful. I learned so much and unlearned even more. Dr. Harrison teaches about understand substance use disorders and their risk factors. She illuminates the need for compassion and inspires empathy.

This book should be required reading for physicians, parents, and every high school student.

A really fresh take on the culture of substance use disorder. Very caring, yet meticulous and solidly evidence-based. 75% of U.S. residents with substance use disorder haven't received treatment! What a disaster, but Dr. Nzinga Harris has a plan. Let's get on board. :)

A must read for all medical providers, family members, general public. We all have a responsibility to change the narrative and be a part of the solution to deal with our substance use disorder crisis. My only disappointment was her almost exclusive use of “physician” when referencing medical providers. Nurse Practitioners are trained to provide wholistic care and with Physician Assistants provide a substantial amount of primary care services especially in rural areas. I hope that in the next edition a more inclusive term “medical provider” is used.

Absolutely loved this book. I’ve done a lot of research on addiction but this book has new ways to view addiction, and a positive spin on how to speak to addicts.

Recommending to everyone

Too much on race vs addiction. False advertising with title. If you want a lecture on micro aggressions go for it!

Too much woke discussion.
