Book Description

The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure contains the powerful three-step program to total recovery that is the basis of the miraculous success of the Passages Addiction Cure Center in Malibu, California. You'll learn the three steps to permanent sobriety; the four causes of dependency; how your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs are key factors in your recovery; and how to create your own personalized treatment program with the help of health professionals where you live--one that gets to the real, underlying causes of dependency. A visionary and an innovator, Chris Prentiss brings new hope to people everywhere who are dependent on drugs, alcohol, or addictive behaviors. This groundbreaking approach will show you how to end relapse, end your craving, end addictive behavior, and end your suffering.

About the Author

Chris Prentiss and his son Pax are cofounders of the 'Passages Addiction Cure Center' in Malibu California. Chris became involved in the field of alcoholism and addiction treatment to save the life of his son, who was addicted to heroin, cocaine and alcohol for ten years. He is also the author of a dozen books on personal growth and has led personal empowerment workshops. The successful principles that evolved from his seminars are the foundations of his revolutionary program at Passages. He also wrote, produced and directed the feature film, Goin' Home. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hmmmmm..., Jan 26 2010

This review is from: The Alcoholism & Addiction Cure: A Holistic Approach to Total Recovery (Paperback)
As an alcoholic and a member of a 12 step group, I read this book with a bit of a different view than the usual reader and I will not review or comment on the treatment method outlined in the book, just on the book itself. While the book is well written and easy to read, I found it to be a bit self righteous in tone and that quite a bit of space was wasted detailing what is wrong with other recovery methods. It was also very promotive of the authors rehab facility. A thinly veiled advertisment, so to speak.

1.0 out of 5 stars poor, Nov 15 2009
This review is from: The Alcoholism & Addiction Cure: A Holistic Approach to Total Recovery (Paperback)
well the base of the book seems to be a storey of his sons experience with drugs and a promo book for his rehab center, Passages.The idea that addiction is not a disease, is what he focuses on. Which I believe is true.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Recovery Story, But Who Can Afford Their Plan?, Jun 17 2008
By J. Moran "Sausage Lover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Alcoholism & Addiction Cure: A Holistic Approach to Total Recovery (Paperback)
The story that the son, Pax, wrote about his addiction and recovery was great. It rang brutally true. I was into the book and ready to see how they could translate their $50,000/month Malibu treatment plan to the masses. The answer? They can't. They recommend hiring a western medical doctor, a clinical pyschologist, a massage therapist, a nutrionist, an acupuncturist, a hypnotist, and a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine as the minimum "holistic treatment team". They recommend going to clinical pyschologist at least 3 times/week. During a question/answer part of the book, it was asked "What if I can't afford all of this?" The answer? Ask to be treated for free. Tell them that they'd be part of a "Passages model team".

Okay...

My HMO pays for 10 counseling sessions per year with a social worker. And the copay for that is $40 per visit. Somehow I don't think I'm going to be able to assemble this psychological dream team without a load of cash and a lot of free time.

Oh, and what should you do if your dream team doesn't live in your small town? MOVE to a big city (just for a month).

I'm not a big fan of AA and their dogmatic religiosity, but at least they're free and close by!

1.0 out of 5 stars THE BIG BUCKS ADDICTION SCAM, April 8 2009
By Michael Corbett - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure: A Holistic Approach to Total Recovery (Hardcover)
Do not expect too much help with your addiction from reading this book. While there were some worthwhile, warmed over insights this book is essentially a lengthy promotion for their in-patient recovery program costing tens of thousands of dollars. There is nothing in the book that helps you get unhooked from your addiction without their clinic and/or a myriad of experts trained in their methodology. If you visit their web site they have quite an array of goods for sale to "assist" in your recovery. This is a product mill, for sure. Lot's of promise, no delivery.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a self help book, Jan 9 2009
By Ken R. Allen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure: A Holistic Approach to Total Recovery (Hardcover)
This book is a 300+ page advertisement for the author's treatment center.
Few if any could afford to hire the staff they recommend to complete the program
