Until now, we've been treating addiction as a black-or-white issue, a problem you either suffer from or will never face. But when it comes to recovery there are so many forces working against us: stress, undernourishment, sleep deprivation, vitamin D deficiency, and isolation, not to mention a flawed medical system and corrupt pharmaceutical companies doling out prescriptions at every turn. The truth is, addiction occurs on a spectrum, and the best way to treat it is with a holistic approach. Featuring individualized plans for specific substances, tips and tools for healing both the body and mind at every stage, and an emphasis on using natural solutions alongside the best of modern medicine, The Addiction Spectrum is the first comprehensive program for getting your life back.

No one understands what you're going through more than Dr. Paul Thomas, a recovering alcoholic and founder of a highly effective outpatient clinic for teens and young adults.

Dr. Paul has devoted his entire career to saving lives, and he finally brings his proven strategies and solutions to you and your loved ones in this groundbreaking new book, The Addiction Spectrum.
