Couple of days ago I was contacted by James Von Aaron who introduced himself and asked me if I would read you a book he had written Help! My Kids Addicted To Prescription Pain Killers . He asked me to take a look at it and post a review on my website.
Now, I generally don’t do that many reviews for products because quite frankly, I feel both a professional, and ethical obligation to only endorse and share good, solid, addiction recovery advice. I have seen a lot of garbage marketed over were desperate for a solution. Like the fellow on TV who says he can cure drug addiction if you buy his book for $29.95, that type of stuff drives me crazy.
But once I started reading James’s book a couple things became immediately apparent. Firstly he had a good grasp of the exact kind of information is audience (parents) is looking for. This is written for the parents who are concerned about their children. The really hard part about the family side of dealing with an addiction problem is that it’s so hard to know where to start or what to do in your desperate need to help your child.
He covers the three stages of opiate addiction in young teens, as well as the corresponding danger signs to look out for. There is a clear explanation of things you should know, common myths that are not to be believed, as well as common mistakes that parents may in trying to deal with their child’s drug abuse.
I really liked easy writing style that made reading this book very interesting. It is not an encyclopedia that will bore you to tears, but presents key information every parent should know.
The best part is that James, like myself as a practicing addiction professional, as such he gives sound and solid advice. This is not some fluff written by a ghost writer and a slick marketer trying to make a buck, or promoting some off-the-wall treatment regimen.
The book certainly serves the purpose of providing solid actionable information to its target audience. I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the post. Isn’t it great when you find a jewel like that? it just seems to speak from the heart and gives you exactly the information you were looking to find.
I’ve been in this business all my life…and have yet to find some one CURE from addiction.
There is a clear explanation of things we should know, common myths that are not to be believed, as well as common mistakes that parents may in trying to deal with their child’s drug abuse. Pain killer has side effect too much is dangerous. All synthetic had side effect its better to switch alternative medicine. Thanks for your article that you’ve shared to us. More power to your site! God bless
