Testimonials
The Answer Model is utterly compelling in that it combines hardcore scientific research on the biology of addiction with a treatment model that extends far beyond the mere data. It incorporates the history of psychological thought, healing and the possibility for change via straightforward methods that do not refute, but supersede, all models in current practice.
The basic tenets of The Answer Model are accessible to laypeople and clinicians alike, but they leave room for infinite therapeutic subtlety. What John and Todd have uncovered is groundbreaking at all levels, offering a concrete conception that extends addiction beyond the obvious substances and processes to an understanding of what limits human beings from attaining their true selves. What is most stunning is the model's offer, indeed promise (!) of hope to all who embark on the journey.

The Answer Model gave me back my sight. I've been empowered. I've grasped the courage and integrity I already had, but denied for so long. I'm alive. Thanks to John and Todd. You are a precious team of compassion and joy.
