The BRENDA Approach

Combining Medication and Psychosocial Treatments for Addictions

Maia Szalavitz

In RECOVERY OPTIONS: THE COMPLETE GUIDE, you will learn what addiction is--and what it isn't. You will examine both the mechanism of addiction and how you can make the best treatment choices...why some people are particularly prone to substance problems...and the genetic and learning mechanisms that help create these conditions.
