Cracked: Putting Broken Lives Together Again

By Drew Pinsky, Todd Gold

Categories: Biographies & Memoirs, Health, Fitness & Dieting

Drew Pinsky, the addiction medicine physician and Loveline host, writes with journalist Todd Gold about his work on the chemical dependency unit of a Pasadena hospital, treating patients withdrawing from alcohol, heroin, cocaine and prescription drugs. Through a series of patient stories, he shows how trauma and family history drive addiction, why detox is only the first step, and how hard he and his staff worked to keep patients in treatment.
