Publisher's Synopsis
Is someone you love addicted? Have you found yourself wondering if all efforts to “help” or “fix” your loved one are really going in the right direction? Addictions to prescription meds, opioids, alcohol and other substances are growing at exponential rates and ripping our families apart. What are the best strategies to help someone in bondage to a substance that drive real results?
When Jason Coombs’ mother discovered her son was addicted to drugs and alcohol, she searched everywhere for resources and guidance that would grant her a spark of hope. She researched websites on the topic only to find a mixed bag of mediocre suggestions and an array of conflicting opinions. She was desperate for tools that could drive measurable results. Yet, her seemingly endless search for helpful guidance led her down a rabbit hole with no end in sight. Unhooked is the book, written by her recovered son, now leading his own treatment center, she wishes would have been available back then.

Unhooked-Great Read
February 27, 2026
I found this book by chance and am sure this is one book that everyone trying to help their loved one needs to have in the library to keep from “helping” and to keep your own sanity. The best way “to help” is to “keep from helping” and doing things for the person in their life. Getting help for the user’s family and friends is in this book. This is the life raft we all need to help yourself first.
