About this listen

Renowned neurologist Dr. Russell Surasky reveals a precise and breakthrough medical treatment for opioid addiction.

The book you’re holding in your hands contains the answers that can save your life, the life of a loved one, or—if you’re a doctor—the life of your patient.

In the time it takes you to read this paragraph, another person will have died from opioid addiction. The opioid epidemic is taking the lives of nearly two hundred Americans each day. Everyone is now just one degree of separation from the deadly scourge of opioid addiction—either you are suffering or someone close to you is. Fentanyl, the deadliest of all opioids, has now flooded into every town in America. Recent discoveries in the field of neuroscience have proven that addiction is a neurological brain disease, not a psychological problem or a moral failure. It is a treatable, chronic medical illness that involves complex interactions between genetics, exposure to addictive substances, and ultimately, the hijacking of specific brain circuitry. With this new information, scientists have created breakthrough medical treatments that can help heal the brain from addiction—and finally unchain those suffering from this deadly affliction.

In This Book Will Save Your Life, Dr. Russell Surasky clearly explains these precise new life-saving treatments and how you or your loved one can access them immediately. Active opioid addiction is a medical emergency that—without treatment—is virtually always fatal. The information in this book could save your life and the lives of those you love, forever.

“This is a pointed and urgent challenge not just for those suffering addiction, but for all of us who care about the dignity of the human person and sacredness of human life. Sure, there’s a lot of bad news about addiction, but there’s a lot of good news as well. My friend Dr. Russell Surasky gives us hope for a culture of recovery.”—Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York

This Book Literally Saved My Son's Life. GOD BLESS

This book saved my son’s life—and gave a local doctor the tools to treat him when no one else knew what to do.

We live in a rural part of Oregon. My son, 17 years old, was struggling with addiction—deep in it. Nothing we tried worked. He had intense cravings, mood swings, and couldn’t even get through detox without falling apart. Every doctor or therapist we saw either suggested another detox or rehab program.

Then I found This Book Will Save Your Life. I read it in one night, sobbing. It explained, in clear and compassionate terms, what was actually happening in my son’s brain—and how specific medication protocols could literally help heal a very specific part of his brain. Dr. Surasky promised that it would release him from the compulsive cravings and save his life. God Bless Dr. Surasky!! My son had never been offered these neurological medications before but they must be given in a highly detailed and specific way as well. For the first time, I understood why sheer willpower wasn’t enough. It wasn’t his morals or a psychological problem—he was suffering with a horrific medical condition.

We took the book to a local doctor who had never used medications like Vivitrol before. With Dr. Surasky’s protocols as a guide, this doctor helped us safely detox in just 3 days and then Vivitrol was started!!! My son was then continued on just a couple of medicines for a few more days. It's been an absolute miracle.

My son also has been diagnosed with ADHD and this book explains the connection between a brain with ADHD and drug addiction. He explains how ADHD impacts the brain and how it makes one even more vulnerable and why treatment is a must!

Today, my son is sober. He’s in a recovery program. He’s hopeful again and has the longest stretch of sobriety he’s ever had. My son is back and I owe Dr. Surasky my life.

If you have a loved one in addiction, or if you’re a doctor who wants to help but feels unequipped, read this book. It changes everything.
