Beyond Addiction

How Science and Kindness Help People Change

By Foote, Wilkens, Kosanke and Higgs

Beyond Addiction is a family resource guide for families who are struggling with a loved one’s addiction.  The authors explain addiction and the cycle of change in ways that make sense.  Many people are under the impression that interventions and tough love are what someone needs in order to make a permanent change in their addiction journey.  The authors make a great case for why positive reinforcement and kindness can help an addict make lasting changes.

This book is for many types of situations, not just full blown drug addiction.  I have seen children who are on the fringes of addiction who are not ready for rehab but need help.  Many parents are lost and do not know where to turn.  I think you will be impressed with the knowledge that you can glean from Beyond Addiction.
