Now more than ever, sufferers of opioid use disorder (OUD) need an authoritative guide. Brimming with expert advice and actionable tips from noted addiction psychiatrist Dr. Adam Bisaga, Overcoming Opioid Addiction demystifies addiction and destigmatizes medication-assisted treatment. In this book, OUD sufferers, their loved ones, and professionals alike will learn everything they need to know, including:
- The science that underlies addiction and why the opioid epidemic has taken hold and become so deadly- The different stages and effective methods of treatment, including detoxification vs. maintenance medications, as well as behavioral therapy
- How to deal with relapses and how to thrive despite OUD.
Complete with a brief guide tailored to families that offers crucial, life-saving information, such as how to select the best program, manage medications, and reverse an overdose, this is the ultimate guide to identifying, treating, and overcoming OUD—once and for all.

The book presents a short introduction to the world of opioid use although it does not go into a lot of detail. The bulk of the book concentrates on the treatment and care of opioid users; particularly treatment using medical support through other narcotics. This is a guide for someone that is trying to get informed on the topic of opioid use and its treatments. The book is divided into four major parts; the first explains what the opioid use epidemic is and how it is affecting our society. The second part covers the opioid addiction treatment and challenges. The third part provides guidance to the families of opioid users. Finally, the fourth and last part of the book tries to give an idea of how the treatment works and what to expect during and after it. The book has an appendix where the author is explaining more about the different treatments. There are many books about the topic of opioid use, but they do not always explain how the medical treatment works in detail. This book offers readers a real and honest explanation of medical treatment for the opioid addiction. This is an excellent book to be read by anyone afflicted by this disease directly or indirectly. I received a free copy via NetGalley.
