Overview

"In this ground-breaking book, Michael Clemmens offers a new model of treatment for long-term recovery which goes beyond the traditional ""disease"" paradigm. Working from the belief that a fuller life for the recovering addict is grounded on a foundation of abstinence, the author explores a ""self-modulation"" approach which leads to a change in the behavior from within the individual while developing and expanding connection with others."
