Understanding Addiction and Recovery Through a Child's Eyes: Hope, Help, and Healing for Families

Addiction is one of the biggest dilemmas of the 21st century. Jerry Moe, an addictions professional and National Director of Children’s Programs at the Betty Ford Center, has spent more than twenty years treating people and families in recovery. In his latest book, Moe has assembled a rich and wide-reaching collection of poignant stories and humorous anecdotes about children and teens who are navigating their way through the healing process.

Whether as victims of parents going through the drug addiction recovery, or as addicts themselves, Moe shows how youths can cope through simple techniques and tools he’s learned from years of experience as one of the key and nationally known professionals in addiction.
