The AA Effect & Why You've Never Heard of the FDA-Approved Drugs that Treat Alcoholism (Rethinking Drinking Book 1)

Most people (including physicians and alcoholics) are unaware of the FDA-approved medications to fight alcoholism, despite the fact that the US government calls them the â€˜standard of care for the treatment of alcoholism.â€™
So, instead of medical treatment, the vast majority of doctors send treatment-seeking alcoholics to Alcoholics Anonymous-based 12-step programs which result in a dismal failure rate estimated at 90 percent.
This book, the first in a 4-book series, delves deeply into what the author calls 'alcoholism culture'. It reveals the truth about the quiet epidemic of deaths from untreated alcoholism, as well as why you may never before have heard of the numerous medications that can help people with alcohol dependence reduce and/or quit drinking.
It covers the role of key players in alcoholism culture--from AA to the Obama administration--as well as the journey through where weâ€™ve been, where we are, and what we need to do next.
