The Passages recovery method offers hope with an entirely different approach from those of other treatments: at Passages, alcohol and drugs are never the problem, but the solutions chosen by alcoholics and addicts to cope with underlying conditions. This is a practical, informed stepbystep protocol for uncovering and treating the core causes of alcoholism and addiction. Once the real problems are uncovered and treated, the substance abuse disappears. Listeners will learn how to select a competent physician to support recovery, and what to avoid when someone needs help with addiction or alcoholism. Traditional recovery centers have a relapse rate of over 90%. Passages, on the other hand, has an 84% success rate. Passages' holistic method offers total recovery from addiction and shows how to heal the underlying causes of addiction, prevent relapse and end suffering.
