In “Chronic Pain: A Way Out (Comprehensive Treatment & 12-Step Recovery Guide)” (ISBN 1477513949), Dr. Stephen Colameco offers a new way to manage chronic pain, a condition that is often stubbornly resistant to conventional medical treatments. In fact, Colameco argues, medication and procedures are often ineffective in treating pain and can even make matters worse. This groundbreaking book offers a holistic approach to managing pain, blending evidence-based treatments and interventional pain management procedures with self-care education and alternative approaches.
“Chronic Pain” offers an alternative path based on solid research that addresses the pros and cons of different types of medical procedures, medications and physical and complementary treatment modalities. This volume also includes an updated version of Colameco’s previously published 12-step recovery guide.
Though 12-step programs are traditionally associated with models of addiction recovery, the program is also highly beneficial to pain sufferers. By acknowledging the emotional suffering that accompanies chronic pain, individuals can use the classic 12-step program to recover as medication alone rarely addresses all of a patient’s problems. Furthermore, the book also acknowledges that treating pain can sometimes lead to addictions, in which case a traditional 12-step recovery program would be recommended.
“In ‘Chronic Pain: A Way Out,’ Colameco combines current, evidence-based medical information with proven spiritual principles that have saved the lives of millions of suffering addicts. The practical exercises provide a road map to improve lives — not just for patients, but for all of those affected by chronic pain,” says Dr. Christopher Johnston, an addiction medicine specialist and the New Jersey director of Pinnacle Treatment Centers.
“Chronic Pain: A Way Out (Comprehensive Treatment & 12-Step Recovery Guide)” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
