Read on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet or Kindle device. Opiate addiction has reached epidemic proportions in the United States, and the problem shows no signs of slowing. Overcoming addiction is tough and, with opiates, many find it nearly impossible. Overdose deaths from prescription painkillers have more than quadrupled over the last fifteen years, and this is just a fraction of the problem. In fact, with prescription opiate addiction now shown to be a gateway drug to heroin, the issue is only getting worse. Last year alone, 11.5 million Americans abused some type of opioid, and more than 660,000 have used heroin in the past year.
If you or someone you love is addicted to opiates, Opiate Addiction , now in its 6th Edition, offers a powerful message balanced with both useful information and hope for a way out from its stifling grip. There is no doubt that addiction is a cunning and cruel disease that robs its victims of nearly everything. Those suffering from opiate addiction are often baffled by its effects on their lives and the devastation that can be wrought in such a short period of time. Loved ones feel helpless and hopeless as they are forced to stand by and watch as someone they care about erodes before their eyes.
Are you looking to move beyond addiction? With a clear approach to providing hard facts and drawing on her own history of opiate addiction and recovery, author Taite Adams is able to give the opiate addict or their loved ones answers to many questions, allay common fears, and provide a clear direction for a way out. Some of the areas that are addressed in detail are:

Author Biography

Taite Adams is a successful marketer and published author who has traded in the high cost of low living for a much more peaceful, and rewarding, life. Free of alcohol and drugs for over a decade and an active member of Alcoholics Anonymous, Taite (not her real name) enjoys living a sober life and sharing those joys with her family, friends and people looking for a better way to live. Her first book, "Kickstart Your Recovery - The Road Less Traveled to Freedom From Addiction", is already climbing the Kindle charts in the Recovery Section. Taite's second book deals with answering the much-asked question of How to "Safely Detox from Alcohol and Drugs at Home". Her third book tackles a subject close to home for both herself and many others - that of "Opiate Addiction". Taite's fourth book is about renewal and making new beginnings in recovery - called "Restart Your Recovery". Her latest book seeks to separate fact from fiction when it comes to the popular drug "Molly". Called "Who is Molly?", the book examines misconceptions about this drug, its dangers, effects and much more. All of these are available in both Kindle format and in paperback. Taite is an avid boater, licensed Coast Guard Captain and prolific traveler. While her bucket list remains long, each day brings a shining new opportunity to cross something off the list or discover something new - and for that she remains forever grateful.
