    About this ebook

    PREHAB is designed to help prepare anyone for the rigors and trials of any challenge they may encounter in life, especially drug or alcohol rehabilitation and the traumas and nightmares brought about by PTSD. Swift reveals that “addiction is easy, rehab is hard” and he demystifies the world of rehabilitation. Is rehab that scary, terrible place depicted in television and fan magazines, or is it an opportunity to become joyous, loving beings?

    PREHAB examines the painful “rehabilitation revolving door” and the families this doorway so powerfully affects. With little being done to rectify the high recidivism rates amongst addicts and alcoholics, and a seemingly unending supply of illegal and legal addictive substances, there is an explosion in negative, addictive behaviors

    PREHAB is an effort toward expanding the way we perceive rehabilitation. Not as a bewildering, negative and terrifying experience, but an opportunity that one rarely gets in life: a chance to start over, rebuild and become the joyful and hopeful human being we were all meant to be.
