The same trend has occurred in field of addiction that the past 20 years have witnessed various authors in the addiction field proposing biopsychosocial-spiritual model of addiction treatment. This book therefore, focuses on how the person of an addict can be treated holistically through an integrated biopsychosocial-spirituality: addressing not just the addiction problem but repairing all that addiction has damaged and/or soiled - restoring a total person.
