"Comprehensive, rational and personal, It supplies much of what is missing in traditional approaches to alcoholic rehabilitation. I believe this book can save lives."
-Leo Galland, M.D.When her teenage son committed suicide after completing a 3 month alcohol rehabilitation program, Joan Mathews-Larson turned her devastating loss into a search for answers. Why had conventional treatment failed her son? Why has understanding alcoholism as a disease grown while the advances in treatment have not? Through painstaking study. Dr. Larson found answers and initiated a revolutionary new treatment program that has become the most successful model ever developed for this disease. Her findings are the basis for her book, "Seven Weeks to Sobriety" giving everyone the knowledge to use this proven program.
This breakthrough self-treatment program is designed to take the alcoholic from addiction to sobriety in just 7 weeks. Based on the format Dr. Larson uses at the Health Recovery Center in Minneapolis, the program's premise is that psychological problems (mood swings, anxiety, depression) don't lead to alcoholism; it is through the heavy use of alcohol and the subsequent disruption of brain chemistry that psychological problems are created. Thus treatment involves physical intervention to shut down cravings and repair the alcohol induced carnage affecting the brain/body. Seven Weeks to Sobriety teaches how to:
- Determine if you are alcoholic and what chemistry type you are.
- Discover how to break your addiction with minimal discomfort.
- Replace key natural chemicals without drugs, to eliminate such alcohol induced symptoms as: anxiety, depression, insomnia, cravings, and unstable mood swings.
Integrate the seven week program into your own life to guarantee a stable alcohol free future.
