Product Description
The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure contains the incredible three-step program to total recovery that is the basis of the miraculous success of the Passages Addiction Cure Center in Malibu, California, the world?s most successful substance abuse treatment center. While traditional treatments have a relapse rate as high as 80% or 90%, the world-famous Passages has a cure rate of 84.4%. This revolutionary book shows how you or a loved one can follow the same successful program used at Passages with the help of health professionals right where you live. You?ll learn the three steps to permanent sobriety, the four causes of dependency, and how to create your own personalized treatment program?one that gets to the real, underlying causes of dependency. The book also shows how your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs are key factors in your recovery and how you can stimulate your body?s self-healing potential to be forever free of dependency. The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure will show you how to end relapse, end your craving, and end your suffering.

 Shamless Self Promotion November 21, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was trained in, arguably, the best psyc think tank in the world. This book's TV promotion piqued my curiosity. In fact, it offers nothing in the way of, "What you, yourself, can do" or any practical approach available to most people looking to help someone with any sort of addiction/dependency. Although a reasonably interesting read, it is shameless self promotion advocating a course of treatment requiring ridiculous expense through a multimodal approach with no explanation as to how the various parts work together, and certainly no scientific or controlled basis supporting the author's claims.
It's extremely high-priced, completely unsupported, pop psychology at it's worst preying on those most desperate. As much as I dislike AA's 12 step program, it is far more solidly grounded. Don't waste your time or hard-earned money on the book.
The Cost Alone.... November 21, 2008

I have not read this book and likely will not read it. I cannot believe that any thinking (or mixed-up, addicted) person would read anywhere beyond being advised to hire all these practitioners or ask for free treatment. Folks in Malibu may be able to afford this treatment, but the vast majority of alcoholics and addicts couldn't even dream of it. And why would someone so deeply interested in sharing his suggestions for recovery possibly charge this kind of money? If you're wondering, don't doubt your gut instinct. Get a good therapist that you can afford or one who is on your health plan, go to AA, and learn some cognitive techniques to help you change your thinking. May recovery, health, and peace be yours.

This book and the Promises Malibu Program are awesome. Chris Prentiss along with his Son Pax have the guts to stand up and speak out about the miserable failures of the old paradigm of alcohol and drug treatment programs. Their program is a bold step forward into the treatment of addictions and self sabbotaging behavior. There will be the old detractors who will scream from the mountain tops that this book and it's ideas are heresy, but that's because the old 12 Step model of addiction being a disease has now been proven false and people are getting cured and free from the recovery cults.

I really think that this program can work, but with all of the counselors and Psycologists that are required, this is a very costly process.
Chris Prentiss the Saint November 3, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I think that this book does a great job convincing people that addiction is caused by escaping from unresolved painful issues, not from the drug itself. The addiction to the drug Chris calls it dependency that can be dissolved within 3 weeks to 90 days. The story of his son is heartbreaking and is proof that Chris Prentiss is a saint and holy man. Thank God, for the people in the world trying to bring more joy and reduce the pain a person has to go through in a lifetime. I think this book will work better with some additional readings on eastern philosophy, which seems to be the foundation of Chris's personal faith.
