Editorial Review
Dr. Kevin T. Coughlin's book titled; "Addictions: What All Parents Need to Know to Survive the Drug Epidemic," is an essential read for parents, clinicians, and those who run treatment centers. Kevin has written an in-depth "how to" for those dealing with a loved one who has been claimed by drug addiction. My favorite is chapter two where Kevin lays out the terminology of many "street" names and the effects drugs has on an addict. Many times you read addiction books, and you have no "clinical" idea what the book is explaining in terms for a regular person to grasp. Not with this book.
Kevin has done an exceptional job in writing. You will find many helpful resources and information to keep your loved ones safe and what to do if a loved one becomes addicted to drugs. He shares help and give's hope through this book. We know many lives are claimed by the drug epidemic in this country every day. So don't go it alone. Please, read this book, so your child doesn't become the next statistic of drug addiction.

Addictions; What All Parents Need to Know to Survive the Drug Epidemic. Written by Rev. Dr. Kevin T. Coughlin Ph.D.
Rev. Dr. Kevin does a beautiful job explaining how families can fight against the war on addiction. The family needs to understand addiction and recovery without enabling. There's a chapter explaining the signs and warnings of potential drug abuse. He also offers up many different styles of addiction treatment. Examining each model based on facts and statistics.
In chapter 2 "It Takes a Village", Rev. Dr. Kevin states "In today's recovery world, experience and science have shown us that the addicted person's family must be addressed, not just the addict. Addiction has proven itself to be a family disease."
This is a must read for anyone trying to understand the disease of addiction, the solution to the problem, and the program of action. Love it! Thank you for sharing your experience, strength and hope. Available at Amazon.com

Addictions, What All Parents Need to Know to Survive the Drug Epidemic
by Rev. Kevin T. Coughlin, Ph.D. guides parents through the maze of treatment options, breaks down the question of what they really offer, and what signs they need to watch out for in their children's behavior. Most parents reading this will be shocked to find out how many street drugs, prescription drugs, new drugs, and old drugs are within reach of their children. This book even goes into depth about what those drugs look like, where they can be found, how they are made and how much they cost.
While the book is geared toward protecting and helping children, there is even a chapter on what parents should look out for in their own behavior. Afterall, enabling and other dysfunction can quietly creep into the familial experience.
The details in this book are invaluable for a parent struggling with a potentially addicted teen and offers plenty of empowerment through knowledge.
