Overview

The addiction recovery industry is killing people-not saving them. Despite billions in funding and decades of ""treatment,"" overdose deaths continue to skyrocket while success rates remain dismally low. In this explosive exposé, addiction specialist Jimmie Applegate reveals why traditional rehab fails 60-90% of patients and presents a revolutionary blueprint for genuine healing. Addicted to Failure dismantles the myths propping up a broken system: the 30-day fallacy that discharges people when their brains are barely beginning to heal, the one-size-fits-all approach that ignores trauma and neuroscience and the profit-driven model that thrives on relapse. Applegate exposes how pharmaceutical companies created the opioid crisis then profited from ""treating"" it, and how treatment centers manipulate success statistics while recycling patients through revolving doors. But this isn't just a devastating critique-it's a manifesto for transformation. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and trauma-informed care, Applegate presents comprehensive recovery tools that address the whole person. From customized treatment matching to family-centered recovery, this book offers practical alternatives for anyone seeking evidence-based approaches to lasting sobriety.
