My brother is a nurse, and he has told me previously of co-workers who have substance abuse problems. It affects more nurses than I would have guessed. I found it disconcerting that those caring for us and our families could be struggling with these types of issues.While Addicted Nurses: Healing the Caregiver is focused on the nursing profession, the information presented by the book is remarkably helpful to anyone suffering from a substance addiction. Both informative and practical, the book is incredibly well-written with easy-to-follow suggestions.Nurses are the focus and there are wonderful sections that deal with options and treatments that are available specifically to nurses. It is also helpful in identifying whether a person has a problem, making it the perfect book for someone who you feel needs to confront the issue.For those who are dealing with an addiction, or who know someone who is, Dr. Travis proves to be a lifesaver, giving you the tools to once again take control of your life.
