SAN ANTONIO (MMD Newswire) September 15, 2010 -- Regaining Your Common Sense-Alcohol Abuse and Drug Use: A Guide for the Family by Francisco A. Cantu, M.D. seeks to provide families with both the tools and alternatives to deal with alcohol and drug abuse in an effective way, as well as a simple preventive program for pre-adolescent and adolescent children.
Drugs and alcohol take a terrible toll on families, but in Regaining Your Common Sense-Alcohol Abuse and Drug Use, medical director Cantu says, "If year after year we observe that the actions taken do not yield results, it is obvious that there is something fundamentally flawed in the understanding of addictions." He focuses on the comprehension of three basic areas that he feels have been overwhelmed by false beliefs. First, Cantu works to help families regain their common sense when dealing with addictions, which he feels is lost when families are constantly exposed to the distorted thinking of addicts. Next, he puts new emphasis on paying attention to the facts surrounding drugs and alcohol, instead of marginalizing them. Finally, he highlights the need for families to understand that the illness of addiction has been displaced from the field of medicine, thus not dealing with it as it should be since its onset.
From how to deal with a family member suffering with addiction to how to help a loved one in rehabilitation, Cantu hopes Regaining Your Common Sense-Alcohol Abuse and Drug Use will be an invaluable guide for any concerned family member.
Regaining Your Common Sense-Alcohol Abuse and Drug Use: A Guide for the Family is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
