Summary of Dr. Harold C. Urschel, III's Healing the Addicted Brain
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The success rate for addiction treatment is currently only 20 to 30 percent. That means that 70 to 80 percent of the participants in any given addiction treatment program will not be successful.
#2 Addiction is a serious brain disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the United States. The shocking statistics say it all: 45-year-old Simon, a high-level chemist at a Dallas-based manufacturer, was referred to me by a drug court judge when he was charged with his second DWI and facing a ten-year prison sentence. His life was in shambles.
#3 The two main myths about addiction are that it is a personality disease, and that it is untreatable. However, these two fallacies have put a stranglehold on the development of effective new therapies for addiction for years.
#4 The current ways of treating addiction are failing. We need a new approach that will do for the treatment of addiction what insulin did for diabetes, Prozac did for depression, and Viagra did for erectile dysfunction.
