heroin addiction book review, May 18, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Beating Heroin (Paperback)
This book is an invaluable source of information for heroin addicts as well as those who are affected by their addictions. It can offer excellent advice to those who are supporting a recovering addict. It gives the true hard facts about the type of behavior of the drug dealers themselves. It also discusses the emotional aspects of all involved during the recovery process. In short, it is the book to get when you don’t have the answers to this serious problem.

Hope for the Hopeless, August 31, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Beating Heroin (Paperback)
THE most important book written on heroin addiction (the “Good News” book is what I call it). A MUST read for family, friends, health care providers, rehabilitation centers and others interested in helping the hopeless find hope! Dr. Beck discusses the two missing pieces of the puzzle in helping addicts “beat” heroin addiction. I have read a gazillion books, articles, scoured the internet for three years seeking and searching for answers and this is IT!

Wake up America and smell the heroin, September 17, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Beating Heroin (Paperback)
Dr. Beck’s book gave me hope for my son. He has been addicted to heroin for 8 months. American psychiatrists need to read this and start a program here. It is needed so badly. Methadone only gives you another addiction to break and opportunity to sell again to support the heroin habit when the cravings kick in. The FDA needs to approve buprenorphine.Buprenorphine along with treating the underlying problems, usually ADD, is the key.The holistic approach is the only way to treat with permanent results. The underlying problems, usually ADD, are brought out in this book. When I read this book everything fell into place and made sense. I am now seeking people that may be able to promote this book and help get clinics open.
