Book excerpt: Chemically Dependent Anonymous' (CDA) book by the same name outlines their history, philosophical underpinnings, & the program for people who are chemically dependent. CDA is a support group that deals with the disease of addiction & the possibility that an addict will transfer his or her chemical dependency from one substance to another. CDA has based its program on the programs proven successful by Alcoholics Anonymous for more than half a century. They have adapted AA's twelve steps & twelve traditions, changing them only so they refer to chemical dependency as a whole, rather than just alcohol abuse. The book CHEMICALLY DEPENDENT ANONYMOUS contains personal stories by 23 courageous recovering men & women who have been willing to share their personal stories about their addiction, their attempts at recovery & their success in combatting many varieties of substance abuse. Their stories have been kept as nearly as possible in their own words. Only those who have been there can so eloquently explain how they have been able to rebuild their lives. These CDA members want to give hope to others that they too may find freedom from their addictions through CDA's own time tested program of recovery outlined in this book.

For many families it has become an all-too- common problem, be it drug or alcohol related. What is needed is a practical resource that clearly outlines effective forms of intervention and treatment for chemically dependent individuals and families. Answering this need is "Treating the Chemically Dependent and Their Families." Written by practitioners for practitioners, this informative volume presents the major issues relevant to addiction and recovery from the perspectives of the addict, the addict's family, and the practitioner. Replete with numerous case studies, contributors discuss the consequences of addiction, assessment of addiction problems, recovery issues, treatment resources, relapse prevention, effects on the addict's family, and issues in family recovery. For practitioners, students, or family members themselves searching for answers to this tragic problem, you can't find a better resource than "Treating the Chemically Dependent and Their Families." "A valuable resource for the rehabilitation counselor. Many of the topics, such as professional enabling, apply to the counselor who is in the field of chemical addiction. One of the strengths is an overview of all the aspects of chemical addiction. Each chapter has an impressive list of references. The chapter on relapse prevention is encouraging. The book is well organized which leads to its usability." --Journal of Applied Rehabilitation Counseling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by the Fellowship of Chemically Dependent Anonymous to share its history, philosophical underpinnings and program with others in our own book. We have based our program on one proven successful for over half a century by Alcoholics Anonymous in helping alcoholics find the road to recovery and a new way of life. As the focus of our program, we have adapted A.A.’s Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, changing them only as they refer to chemical dependency in its entirety rather than alcohol abuse alone. We are grateful to A.A. for pointing the way for us as it has for many other anonymous groups.
