Neurologist Dr. Russell Surasky addresses the opioid crisis that kills nearly two hundred Americans daily. Fentanyl has spread to every American town, creating a medical emergency that affects everyone within one degree of separation. Surasky argues that recent neuroscience research proves addiction is a neurological brain disease, not a psychological issue or moral failing. The condition results from complex interactions between genetics, substance exposure, and hijacked brain circuits. Scientists have developed new medical treatments that can heal addicted brains and free patients from this chronic illness. Surasky explains these precise treatments and shows readers how to access them immediately. The book provides life-saving information for those suffering from active opioid addiction, their families, and medical professionals treating patients.
