Synopsis

Approximately 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain—and many of them use prescribed painkillers to treat it, a dangerous course that may lead to dependency, addiction, and, paradoxically, increased pain. Opioid overdoses kill more people than car accidents and cocaine and heroin addictions combined.



The innovative program at the acclaimed Las Vegas Recovery Center, where Dr. Mel Pohl serves as medical director, has helped thousands of chronic pain sufferers learn to thrive and reduce their pain's intensity without painkillers. Now, for the first time, The Pain Antidote shares this concrete program, which combines up-to-date research with state-of-the-art treatments and non-narcotic medications. The Pain Antidote offers tools and strategies—including a four-week jump start plan—to help anyone with chronic pain ease their suffering, restore their happiness, and live a rich, full life.

Goodreads review by Morgan

Solid. Just what the title suggests.......more

Goodreads review by Nancy

Good book and unusual ideas about lessening pain and they work. However about 70% of the book deals with people addicted to opioids. I don’t take opioids or any pain pills so I breezed thru those sections and book gave non pharmaceutical ways to deal with pain. Better and safer ideas.......more

Goodreads review by Sam

Aside from some of the dietary recommendations (fish beef and chicken) this is a flawless insightful book. Many in-depth messages of hope and understanding for anyone dealing with addiction or those caring for them.......more
