Addiction and Change: How Addictions Develop and Addicted People Recover (Guilford Substance Abuse Series)

This book is very well written and easy to understand. This step approach to addiction recovery is both powerful and sensible.

How people become addicted; how they recover.

This book, based upon the Prochaska and Norcross model of "stages of change" is a vital resource for the chemical dependency/abuse counselor, or anyone else who works with this population.

The authors clearly delineate how a person becomes addicted (using the stages of change model- except in reverse), then moving on to the process of recovery.

Contrary to an earlier review, I did not find this resource to be "verbose;" rather I thought the presentation was cogent and crisp.

Scholarly yet practical without pedantry this is an informative piece of literature in a field where one needs all of the resources one can get.

Highly recommended.

The stages-of-change model has become widely known as a framework for conceptualizing recovery. Less well known are the processes that drive movement through the stages or how the stages apply to becoming addicted. From Carlo C. DiClemente, codeveloper of the transtheoretical model, this book offers a panoramic view of the entire continuum of addictive behavior change. The author illuminates the common path that individuals travel as they establish and reinforce new patterns of behavior, whether they are developing an addiction or struggling to free themselves from one, and regardless of the specific addictive behavior. The book addresses crucial questions of why, when, and how to intervene to bolster recovery in those already addicted and reach out effectively to people at risk.
