Hope in Addiction

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Addiction is a confusing and misunderstood phenomenon. Society is generally misinformed and tied to many myths regarding the causes and mechanics of addiction. Hope in Addiction gets to the heart of the matter, dispelling falsehoods and opening our eyes to the actual pathology of the disease. Andy Partington does a masterful job of explaining the many aspects of addiction in such a way that the reader finds themselves thinking 'aha' throughout. He explains the underlying causes including the importance of understanding the supply versus demand side as well as some new science regarding the role of dopamine in the brain. There is hope in addiction. Every faith community needs to read this book to really understand the problem and how they can play a vital role in saving lives during this 'age of addiction.'”
