About the Book
The Recovery Book That Changes Everything
The opioid epidemic continues to devastate lives across the U.S., with over 6 million adults affected and only a fraction receiving treatment. Every day, 300 Americans die from opioid overdoses. The crisis is far from over.
In Complete Freedom from Opioid Addiction, Dr. Coleman draws on 40 years of clinical experience treating opioid use disorder (OUD) to cut through the confusion. With compassion, clarity, and clinical insight, he explains what addiction really is, how it hijacks the brain, and what effective treatment looks like.


Through real patient stories, Dr. Coleman brings complex issues to life. These stories help readers seem themselves in the narrative, make sense of their own experiences, and find hope in the process.
This isn’t just another book about addiction. It’s a practical, easy-to-understand guide that helps readers understand:
- Opioid addiction is a no-fault illness caused by a combination of genetic vulnerability, childhood trauma, social determinants, and drug-induced brain changes
- Complete freedom from opioid addiction is possible for almost everyone, with the right choices and consistent effort
- Medications, therapy, and personal growth work together to strengthen recovery
Whether you’re in recovery, supporting a loved one, or working in this field, this book offers real guidance and real hope.
