Editorial Reviews

The breakthrough program to end relapse, end suffering, and achieve total recovery from all dependencies.

Passages, in Malibu, California, is the world's most successful addiction cure center. The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure contains the three-step holistic program to total recovery that is the basis of the miraculous success of Passages. In this revolutionary book, you will learn:

  • The three steps to permanent sobriety
  • How to create a personalized, holistic treatment program to completely cure your dependency
  • The four causes of dependency
  • How your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs are key factors in your recovery
  • How to stimulate your body's self-healing potential to be forever free of dependency

    "Freedom from dependency starts with understanding that alcohol, drugs, and addictive behaviors are not the real problems," says Chris Prentiss, cofounder of Passages Addiction Cure Center. "Alcohol, street drugs, nicotine, prescription medications, food bingeing, gambling, and the like are merely the substances or behaviors you or your loved ones are using to cope with the real problems - anything from deep emotional pain, ill health, or depression to hypoglycemia, a sluggish thyroid, or brain-wave pattern imbalances. Once the underlying problems are discovered and cured, the need for drugs, alcohol, or addictive behavior will disappear - along with the craving."

    Prentiss should know. His son Pax was addicted to heroin, cocaine, and alcohol for ten years. They sought help everywhere, but Pax relapsed again and again. In desperation, they finally created their own holistic, hand-tailored program that was a complete break from all other programs and that combined several effective therapies. It saved Pax's life. Together, father and son founded Passages to help others find their own freedom.

    For decades, we've been hearing that alcoholism and addiction are incurable diseases, but The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure

    2.0 out of 5 stars Great Recovery Story, But Who Can Afford Their Plan?, June 17, 2008
    The story that the son, Pax, wrote about his addiction and recovery was great. It rang brutally true. I was into the book and ready to see how they could translate their $50,000/month Malibu treatment plan to the masses. The answer? They can't. They recommend hiring a western medical doctor, a clinical pyschologist, a massage therapist, a nutrionist, an acupuncturist, a hypnotist, and a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine as the minimum "holistic treatment team". They recommend going to clinical pyschologist at least 3 times/week. During a question/answer part of the book, it was asked "What if I can't afford all of this?" The answer? Ask to be treated for free. Tell them that they'd be part of a "Passages model team".

    Okay...

    My HMO pays for 10 counseling sessions per year with a social worker. And the copay for that is $40 per visit. Somehow I don't think I'm going to be able to assemble this psychological dream team without a load of cash and a lot of free time.

    Oh, and what should you do if your dream team doesn't live in your small town? MOVE to a big city (just for a month).

    I'm not a big fan of AA and their dogmatic religiosity, but at least they're free and close by!

    1.0 out of 5 stars THE BIG BUCKS ADDICTION SCAM, April 8, 2009
    Do not expect too much help with your addiction from reading this book. While there were some worthwhile, warmed over insights this book is essentially a lengthy promotion for their in-patient recovery program costing tens of thousands of dollars. There is nothing in the book that helps you get unhooked from your addiction without their clinic and/or a myriad of experts trained in their methodology. If you visit their web site they have quite an array of goods for sale to "assist" in your recovery. This is a product mill, for sure. Lot's of promise, no delivery.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Not a self help book, January 9, 2009
    By 
    This book is a 300+ page advertisement for the author's treatment center.
    Few if any could afford to hire the staff they recommend to complete the program
