Product Description:
"New, scientifically-based approaches that recognize the biological basis of addiction have brought major advances in the treatment of addiction. Dr. Urschel is at the forefront of this treatment paradigm."
Dr. Larry Hanselka, Psychologist
The Proven Scientific Approach to Conquering Addiction and Defeating the Disease
Healing the Addicted Brain is a breakthrough work that focuses on treating drug and alcohol addiction as a biological disease—based on the Recovery Science program that has helped thousands of patients defeat their addictions over the past 10 years. It combines the best behavioral addiction treatments with the latest scientific research into brain functions, providing tools and strategies designed to overcome the biological factors that cause addictive behavior along with proven treatments and medications.
Using this scientific approach, you will learn to conquer the physical factors that keep people tied to drug and alcohol addiction. The proven fact is addiction is not a moral failing or an issue of not having enough willpower. It is a disease of the brain that can and must be treated like other chronic medical illnesses —such as diabetes, hypertension, or asthma—in order to defeat the disease.
This revolutionary program can triple the success rate of patients, from 20-30% to 90%
There Is Hope.
By understanding addiction and using 21st-century breakthroughs, for the first time drug and alcohol addiction can be, and will be, defeated.
Summary: Great self-promotional tool for Dr. Urschel's expensive treatment program
Rating: 1
Dear Dr. Urschel, I found the only new information in your book to be about the course of new medications for the addicted and how those medications can aid in recovery. However, I know of no doctors that a person without insurance can go to and get treated with these wonderful breakthrough tools. It appears as though the only place to go for a complete treatment program is your private pay program, and it cost $37,000. And even though you have a "Donate" site on your page that is supposed to fund scholarships, no one has donated. Perhaps maybe you should be the first one, Dr. Urschel. After all, your book did cost me about $15.99, plus tax, plus shipping.

Let go of outmoded addiction recovery models. Dr. Urshel's "Healing The Addicted Brain" takes a new medical approach to this complex subject. Particularly helpful are the numerous tools and worksheets provided to aid the addict toward successful recovery.
Summary: Healing the Addicted Brain - Powerful!
Rating: 5
This book was brought to my attention on the Dr. Phil Show when I heard the author, Dr. Urschel, explain why he had written this powerful book.
We, as a family, have been dealing with a 50 year old son who has tried so many times to stop his addiction to prescription drugs, mainly opiates. This all started, as do many, from an auto accident where he almost lost his left leg. I, as his mother, have paid for short-term treatments, counseling, bought many books for him and many more attempts to help him back to sobriety, but to no avail.
I felt this book was so insightful as to giving scientific facts as to what had happened and was continuing to happen to my son's brain. The response from him when I gave him this book was that it was just another book that repeated what he had read before. However, I have had many acknowledgments and praise from him regarding how Dr. Urschel's book has been the most helpful to him out of anything he has read before!! The fact that the book takes a scientific approach to the brain and how it can be altered, length of time to heal, and what an addict can do when in this condition is the most helpful and powerful and gives the person a chance of hope for the future!
I strongly recommend this book to anyone dealing with an addiction of any type since it does address how alcohol affects the brain as well.
Summary: New Information on an Old Problem
Rating: 4
I think the book informs the reader very well but doesn't give enough information on how to obtain the medical treatment recommended, i.e., the medicine. Where can you find a Doctor that will prescribe the medicine referred to in the book? I intend to pass the book on to family and friends. It is necessary reading for anyone interested in helping the helpless addict.
Summary: A new approach to an old problem
Rating: 5
Healing the addicted brain was very informative. I think this book is a new approach to an old problem.
