Whether for a family member, a professional, or someone battling active addiction, this book is a worthy and impactful read!" --Ilana Zivkovich, LCSW, LCDC, CDWF, Chief Clinical Officer, Northbound Treatment Services "When the Servant Becomes the Master takes the complexities and misconceptions about addiction and sets the record straight with thoughtful insights and credible research. If you work in the field of addiction treatment, this is a must-have for your professional library. If you or someone you love suffers from addiction and you want to better understand the addictive process as well as the process of recovery, then I strongly encourage you to read this book." --Robert Hilliker, LCSW-S, LCDC, Managing Partner of the Lovett Center, Clinical Director of the Center for Integrative Healing "When the Servant Becomes the Master" has become my 'go-to' resource countless times. It is part of almost every conversation I have with anyone who courageously reaches out for help for a loved one or themselves. This comprehensive review of addiction provides the reader with knowledge to better understand addiction and an entry point to embarking on a healing journey. Written with the perfect balance of data, research, humor, and love, this book fosters hope and arms the reader with practical solutions, suggestions, and facts. When the Servant Becomes the Master has been incorporated into our family program and our new-hire orientation process." --Julie K. DeNofa, President Sobriety Matters "For everyone from addicts and their families to professionals with a desire to know more about this baffling disease, When the Servant Becomes the Master is a must-read. Despite my years in the practice of addiction medicine, I experienced many 'aha moments' as I read. I am glad this book is now available to explain the suffering and the science of addiction in such a way as to be easily understood by the reader. Dr. Powers brings to light and illustrates that addiction is a disease and not just an affliction of the weak or immoral. He explains and underscores the effectiveness of treatment and draws parallels of success and failure with other chronic disease such as diabetes and hypertension. I would like to make this book required reading for all my patients and their families. If you are challenged by the notion of addiction as a disease, read this book and decide for yourself." --Mike Leath, MD, RPh, Medical Director of Outpatient Services, Memorial Hermann Prevention and Recovery Center
