Brimming with expert advice and actionable tips from noted addiction psychiatrist Dr. Adam Bisaga, Overcoming Opioid Addiction demystifies addiction and destigmatises medication-assisted treatment. In this book, OUD sufferers, their loved ones, and professionals alike will learn everything they need to know, including:
• The science that underlies addiction and why the opioid epidemic has taken hold and become so deadly
• The different stages and effective methods of treatment, including detoxification vs. maintenance medications, as well as behavioural therapy
• How to deal with relapses and how to thrive despite OUD.
Complete with a brief guide tailored to families that offers crucial, life-saving information, such as how to select the best program, manage medications, and reverse an overdose, this is the ultimate guide to identifying, treating, and overcoming OUD - once and for all.
