Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
The New Addiction Treatment explores the shortcomings of traditional addiction treatment methods and discusses how addictoin treatment could be made more effective. By exploring science-based therapies and interventions, David A. Patterson Silver Wolf examines addiction treatment options with more effective outcomes.
MoreLong description:
Addiction is the United States' most pervasive and damaging public health problem, yet most Americans receive care that results in a failure rate that is both astronomically high and shielded from public view.
The New Addiction Treatment examines the current state of the addiction treatment business and explores the reasons why (unlike those for all other behavioral, psychological, or neurological disorders) the treatment of addiction has been stagnant and little improved since the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous in 1935.
After describing the size and scope of the problem and examining actual recovery rates for those who undergo treatment, David A. Patterson Silver Wolf asserts that there are effectively two kinds of treatment regimes in the United States: those that medical doctors receive, and those for the rest of us. The former has about an 80% success rate, the latter about an 80% failure rate.
Drawing from his own experience as a former patient and person in long-term recovery, as well as his 22 years as a clinician, professor, and researcher, Patterson Silver Wolf describes many of the impediments to effective treatment today. This book offers a plausible and cost-effective way to disrupt the dismal status quo and realistically aspire to a higher success rate for everyone who receives professional help for a substance use disorder.
The New Addiction Treatment is a fascinating excursion into the field. Part personal ethnography, part scholarly overview, David Patterson Silver Wolf's book is an engaging melding of the author's personal lived experience with addiction, recovery, and subsequent career as an eminently successful behavioral scientist who is abreast of the latest developments in helping people recover from abusing addictive substances.... The underlying message is one of hope - genuinely effective therapies are available to help persons seeking sobriety. Moreover there are useful techniques that can be ethically used to motivate such persons to seek treatment in the first place. And to remain engaged in treatment during the long period of time needed to promote enduring recovery.
