Dr. Glasner, a renowned expert in addiction science, combines
her extensive research and clinical experience to address the most
pressing questions about addiction, including the biological,
psychological and social aspects of addiction, as well as the
latest treatment approaches and policy considerations.
The book is structured in a question-and-answer format, making
it accessible and engaging for readers, from laypersons to
professionals. It addresses critical questions such as what
addiction is, how it affects the brain and what treatments are
available. The book also explores the impact of addiction on
families and communities, and discusses innovations in addiction
treatment and prevention.
“Addiction is a complex and often misunderstood condition,” said
Dr. Glasner. “My goal with this book is to provide readers with a
clear and comprehensive understanding of addiction, grounded in the
latest scientific research. I hope it will serve as a valuable
resource for anyone seeking to learn more about this critical
issue.”
Dr. Glasner's work is particularly timely given the ongoing
opioid crisis, rise in cannabis use and the increasing prevalence
of substance use disorders. Her book aims to educate readers on the
science of addiction, dispel common myths, and provide practical
advice for those affected by addiction and their loved ones.
The release of “Addiction: What Everyone Needs to Know” aligns
with Pelago's strategic vision of leveraging cutting-edge science
to manage and treat substance use disorders and improve health
outcomes. Pelago is dedicated to providing innovative digital
therapeutics that empower individuals to take control of their
