Physician’s New Book Provides Hope for Dealing with Addiction
Dog Ear Publishing reviews a new concise guide that details the treatment of addiction for patients, families and providers and the underlying mechanics behind addiction.
New Orleans, LA, August 10, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Decades of research have given scientists and medical professionals insights into the problem of addiction, which finds its roots in psychological, biological and social issues. A psychiatrist who specializes in addiction medicine shares her insights in a new book released by Dog Ear Publishing that aims to answer specific questions asked by those affected by addiction.
“HOOKED” helps families, patients and treatment providers navigate the social, medical, physical and emotional aspects that can overwhelm anyone impacted by addiction. This helpful guide covers basic questions such as what addiction is and why some people get addicted whereas others do not. Topics range from the neurobiology of addiction to finding treatment, interventions, pregnancy and addiction, and the roles loved ones can play.
The author, who has more than a decade of experience as a specialist in addiction medicine, provides specific information about medication available to treat different types of addiction, what can happen during a relapse and how to respond to it, and specific examples created from aspects of hundreds of patients. The book concludes with a short list of questions to ask a rehab facility or treatment specialist. In the end, it provides real-life ways to cope with the disease known as addiction.
Podesta, an MD, serves as a clinical faculty member at Tulane University, medical director at several addiction treatment facilities and consultant for the courts. She is board-certified in psychiatry, addiction medicine, forensic psychiatry and holistic and integrative medicine. She uses her background in massage therapy and biochemistry to create her holistic approach. Podesta also has a boutique private practice where she works with an integrated team that includes a nutritionist, massage therapists, acupuncturist and psychotherapists. In addition, she gives lectures on addiction medicine and treatment.
