CHRIS PRENTISS, FOUNDER OF PASSAGES CLINIC IN MALIBU,
DECLARES THAT ALCOHOLISM AND ADDICTION ARE NOT DISEASES
AND CAN BE OVERCOME FOREVER

Currently on Tour: Coming to Las Vegas, Wednesday, March 15th
 
For over 70 years, we’ve been hearing that addiction and alcoholism are diseases, and that they are incurable. Those who believe this have not met Chris Prentiss or spoken with the hundreds of patients who have passed through the doors of the Passages Treatment Center in Malibu, California, including some of this nation's most visible celebrities and government leaders.  Since 2000, Passages has experienced an astounding 84.4% success rate—exactly the opposite of traditional treatments, which have a relapse rate as high as 80% or 90%. 
 
In his new book, THE ALCOHOLISM & ADDICTION CURE, Prentiss exposes the myth of alcoholism as a life-long addiction. His sparkling new concepts literally blast away what he calls “the stagnation that has clogged the minds of millions, and prevented people from seeing what was right in front of their eyes all along:  that alcoholism and addiction are not diseases, they are not even the problem ” Chris Prentiss is cofounder and co-director with his son, Pax, of Passages Malibu Drug Rehab, the world’s most successful treatment program for reversing alcoholism and drug dependency. 
 
The center has dramatically turned around the lives of hundreds of alcohol-dependent and drug-dependent people. The Alcoholism & Addiction Cure contains the incredible program to total recovery that is the basis of the miraculous success of Passages. For the first time, this revolutionary book reveals:

    -- The three steps to permanent sobriety 
    -- How to create a personalized treatment program to completely cure your dependency
    --The four causes of dependency
    --How your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs are key factors in your recovery
    --How to stimulate your body’s self-healing potential to be forever free of dependency

Acclaim for The Alcoholism & Addiction Cure
 
“This is an excellent resource for anyone dealing with addictions or trying to understand their life.  It will help you to define yourself and your problem in a way that will empower you and end any victim mentality. It is written in a style that is easy to understand and learn from because it is written by natives: people who have lived the message.  This book contains the information that can start you on the road to recovery.”—Bernie Siegel, M.D., author of 365 Prescriptions for the Soul and 101 Exercises for the Soul

Chris and Pax’s ten-year journey to the creation of Passages is one of the greatest father-son stories of redemption ever told, of the son who fell to the horrible depths of a heroin/cocaine/alcohol dependency, who nearly lost his life several times, and of the dad who never gave up the battle for his son, and how together, they turned that horrifying story into the world’s greatest rehab. --
 
Dr. Alan Blanc, physician, psychiatrist, psychologist, and acupuncturist, states in his independent evaluation of the Passages treatment program, “You can’t argue with their proven 84.4% cure rate. It is unmatched anywhere in the world. Passages is the model from which all treatment centers will pattern themselves in the future.”
