Addiction Recovery is Possible.

Addicts are like lotus flowers – they are rooted in the mud and the muck, but in recovery, rise above their trials and disappointments to blossom in the clear light of day. All it takes is a desire to recover.
If you've reached this website, addiction likely has you searching for answers, effective treatments and hope. You've come to a resting spot. I know firsthand what addiction means to daily living. I was a two-liter-of-hard-liquor-a-day drinker at the height of my addiction, and I have been sober for nearly fifteen years.

As an addiction scholar, I also know from a scientific and spiritual viewpoint that addiction can be overcome. Most of the best treatment methods are holistic – treating mind, body and spirit. They are also integrative – using treatment interventions from psychology, Western medicine, and complimentary and alternative medical practices. Recovery is possible.

Allow me to help you work through the multi-faceted issue of addiction. Here you will find that addiction is not a disease, but a complex behavioral and spiritual disorder. There are evidenced-based interventions that promote recovery. You need not be relegated to a life of suffering. The recovery tools that have helped many recover, including myself, are laid out right here for you to pick up and use to create a new life.

I am here to offer you hope. You can end addiction for good. The life you were always meant to live is just around the corner. Allow this website to be the first step on that journey of recovery. Welcome.

This website presents information about drug addiction and alcoholism.  It gives an overview of some of the treatment methods used to help overcome addiction and discusses understandings of addiction recovery that are present in academic and scientific research on the subject.  Many people have found a new life using these recovery methods.  However, there are many medical issues that the long-term use of drugs and alcohol can cause in an individual.  Before you begin any treatment protocol on your own, I strongly encourage you to see a medical doctor to determine how you can best be physically and emotionally supported through your drug or alcohol detox.  The information found on this website is not a substitute for receiving proper treatment from physicians, psychologists, and spiritual advisors.
