Keep Calm and Treat Addiction

Recommended by:

Chris Raine, Founder & CEO of Hello Sunday Morning

The first step in reducing stigma around alcohol and drug use is normalising conversations about our relationship with these substances. Tania has created a must-read guide for clinicians and service providers to assist in this process, packed full of techniques,

strategies and practical guidance on how to work with clients wishing to address their alcohol or drug use. I recommend Keep Calm and Treat Addiction for anyone wanting to better understand evidence-based addiction treatment philosophy.

Tania has written a very informative book on addiction and the associated behaviours incurred. Th e book is a wonderful resource for AOD practitioners and also for people wanting further knowledge and understanding in this field. It is clearly written, easy to understand

and includes good examples throughout. Highly recommended.

It is with pleasure that I endorse this book from my dear friend Tania. This practical guide is suitable for both clinicians, as well as people who have loved ones struggling with addiction. It is written in plain English without unnecessary jargon, which readers will appreciate and find easy to use – a wonderful resource to the addiction industry.

A beautifully written, concise, step-by-step approach that helps bridge a novice to an expert. Tania’s easy to read, no-nonsense guide has given me the confidence to manage a difficult and complex aspect of GP practice,which is so easy to get wrong. A great go-to book that

has found a permanent place on my desk.

This book is a valuable resource for all health professionals who work with people with addictions. Tania calls upon her own lengthy experience to off er words of wisdom and ever-so-practical advice for both novices entering this challenging and rewarding area of health practice and to those more experienced looking to ‘brush-up’ on their skills and knowledge. Tania’s accessible and personable style makes the book easy to read and easy to re-read. I would highly recommend

this 12-step guide to all health professionals who work with people with addictions.

Keep Calm and Treat Addiction is a very insightful resource written for professionals and clinicians, which also holds valuable information for family and friends of people who use drugs. It is written clearly and

provides an understanding of what both the patient and their loved ones endure. With valuable key points and professional advice, Tania’s extensive experience and knowledge in addiction treatment – and passion to help others – shines through. Personally, as the family member of someone who uses drugs, I found this book a unique and much sought after tool, full of excellent advice. I highly recommend

it. I wish I had something like this years ago. Well done Tania!
