This book is an innovative guide for professionals that establishes an extraordinary approach to understanding the dynamics of addiction and the recovery process.

RECOVERYMIND TRAINING (RMT) includes state-of-the-art information on neuroscience and behaviour techniques. To be successful, the learning involved in recovery has to overcome the complex and hard-wired entrainment produced by the use of highly reinforcing drugs - including alcohol. The RMT model describes the dynamics of active addiction with regard to its effects on the brain - motivations, drives, memories and cognitive distortions - with the term "AddictBrain." Recovery is facilitated through the learning of a structured set of skills that promote changes to thoughts, beliefs and actions and brings about "RecoveryMind."

RMT challenges readers to see addiction from a different perspective and introduces a structured treatment model that will put order to the chaos typically found with addiction.
