Altered States: The Inside Story of Excess and Successful Recovery (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781456733766)

Quitting addiction to any substance, whether alcohol, cocaine, tranquilizers, heroin, tobacco, or one of the lesser known, is most frequently a very difficult process. Most of them are varied forms of the Alcoholics Anonymous "12 Step Program." Virtually all of them report at best 50% success and more commonly only 10% " sobriety one year from treatment. Dr. Neher has worked with several types of "treatment" programs and found that they lacked two important elements. He found that when they included these two in any of them, more than 90% maintained their sobriety after one year. It should be noted that tracking patients (or clients) longer is almost impossible to do on a regular basis. However, 95% of those few who had the benefit of the two elements and who have been able to be followed, maintained their sobriety for the next five or more years. This book covers these, two critical elements, in detail.
