"Addictions and alcoholism are diseases that affect both the medical and
psychological aspects of a person. It is not possible to give outstanding treatment
unless the clinician deals with the entire nature of the disorder. Ignore one aspect
over the other, and you have a sure set-up for poor treatment", states Stephen
Gilman, M.D., a respected expert on alcoholism recovery and addiction treatment.
"General physicians are not experienced dealing with the psychological issues, and
therapists have no ability to use the new medications for alcoholism and pill
dependence. Even worse, there are people rendering "treatment" with no formal
medical or psychological training, using recovery from their own addiction as their
only credential."

Stephen is a powerful, informative interview. He will tell your :
. The three questions you must ask before entering addiction treatment
. The truth about the new medications for alcoholism and pill addiction
. The only addiction specialist certification recognized by the American Board of
Medical Specialists
. How to find a qualified clinician in your area in less than 3 minutes.
