Americas Addiction Crises, the Whole Story
Kent I Phillips
A ddiction Specialist Kent I Phillips shares a lifetime of addiction experience and training. Thirty years in Alcoholics Anonymous, plus training as a BS and as a Master of Science in Addiction Counseling (MSAC). He is experienced at both the personal and the clinical level.
Born in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1946 , Mr. Phillips currently resides in Phoenix, Arizona, with his wife of years, two sons and two grandchildren. Mr. Phillips is a national contractor in Addiction Counseling and provides treatment protocols to multiple treatment centers.
Mr. Phillips experience included a chair, on guitar, at SUN records studios in Nashville, management with the Pillsbury Company of Minneapolis, Minn., and founding Databank USA in 1979 , a national marketing research firm. Mr. Phillips sold the corporation in 2007 and began a full life devoted to helping those with addictions. He specializes in Opioid addiction in patients less than thirty years of age.
American Overdose is an addiction trilogy, and his first with Oxford/American Publishing. The three books contained in this trilogy are American Overdose , discussing the drug crisis in our nation that is taking so many young lives; Treatment Talk , offering an in-depth analysis of treatment centers, treatment protocols, and what type of treatment to seek; and Killing Family , a handbook for the family to aid them in knowing what to expect, what to accept, and what to do when addiction arrives in ones life.
E very thanks to my wife of years, Mary Joyce. I am sorry that I was up so early working on this book every morning. Also thanks to my two sons, Timothy and Charles, for continued input and help. Also for the inspiration from Tims wife, Josephine, for giving us the two most beautiful granddaughters in the world: Kendall and Skyler. Looking into their young eyes inspired some of this book, and wondering where we will be in ten years or so, when they enter high school or middle school.
The problem is hard drug addiction, and it is getting worse daily. Availability of substances is increasing, and the presence of dangerous addictive drugs penetrates suburban neighborhoods and rural communities. Patients of mine less than twenty-one years of age tell me it is cheaper and easier to buy heroin than a six-pack of craft beers. Drinking parties for high school aged adolescents have morphed into drug experimentation sessions. Weekend using sometimes becomes daily. Daily turns into full addiction.
These three books are a general approach to understanding addiction. Some of the chapters may seem to contain repetitive statements, and I apologize for that. The reason is that each chapter is supposed to be a reference entity, so they contain some explanations that may apply to several other chapters.
The purpose of these three books is to provide some thoughts and information for the family that is suffering from addiction. I hope that these books will provide a picture for you to help you realize that you are NOT ALONE, and that what is happening to you is becoming quite common. You are in our prayers.

T his trilogy, American Overdose , Treatment Talk , and Killing Family is not clinical nor scientific. Each book reflects experience and statistics, and are written to help those afflicted with addiction, or suffering due to a loved ones substance abuse.
The patients of young addicts are in crisis and generally have no idea of how to deal with addiction when it comes to visit. We all want to help a loved one who became addicted to alcohol, heroin, cocaine or methamphetamens. Most of the time, the way we show our love is exactly wrong, and may hurt more than help.
Most addicts draw their sustenance from the love of another person. Addicts manipulate this love to secure money, food, and/or shelter. I suppose that not every relationship is exactly the same, but in the world of addiction, behavior is predictable. As you read these pages, this may be your first experience dealing with addiction, and you are afraid. I hope that this treatise helps you in overcoming your fears and concerns. We have seen a thousand cases, and I can assure you that most addiction events have happened again and again. Addictive Behavior is predictable. We know what is going to happen if the abuse continues.
Please do not consider these three books as clinical advise, since the need for a professional Addiction counselor, coach, or therapist is imperative. Professional help is always recommended prior to any action. I pray that these three books encourage you to understand that you are not alone, or helpless. Millions have had the same experiences as you.

T hese three books deal with addiction. The first book, American Overdose , is a treatise on the growth and impact of drugs in the United States. The government makes declarations such as proclaiming an Opioid Overdose Crisis, but little happens. I believe we have underestimated the number of young hard drug addicts in America. We are at epidemic proportions, and legal opioid (pain pills) prescriptions have increased percent in the last decade. What is alarming about this increase is the fact that pain has not increased, only the need for more prescriptions. The illegal opioids that come into the country have found a new marketplace in the last five years or so. Dealers have penetrated even the smallest community or suburb. Hard drugs are no longer just in the inner city. Currently, the DEA, ICE, the FBI, the Coast Guard, Border Security, and the local constabulary have had little to NO effect on stemming the flow of drugs into our nation. Patients claim that prescription opioids and other drugs are are often a prelude to addiction. I am not sure what the national numbers are, but here in little old Arizona, there were , opioid prescriptions written in the month of May 2018 . This is one script for every people. Included in American Overdose are chapters that present how drug use is changing our culture and our youth. You may begin to see some of the results in your neighborhood, but dont be alarmed; addiction is growing nationwide. You are not alone.
