Abstract
There is no secret regarding the steps required to enter recovery for substance dependence.1 The process is similar to that encountered with any long-term and potentially life-threatening disorder such as diabetes or hypertension.2 The person must recognize that his or her functioning is impaired, admit that the use of substances has either caused the problems or has significantly exacerbated them, and reach a point where he or she recognizes that all possible steps must be taken to correct the situation. It is important to learn how to change the pattern of life functioning to maximize the chance that abstinence will continue and how to prevent relapses or to minimize their duration and adverse impact if they occur. Each of these steps is described for patients or clients and for their families in the companion book entitled Educating Yourself about Alcohol and Drugs.1
