Schick Shadel’s patient, Kathleen S, wrote the book,“Drink Up! How 10 Days Ended a Lifetime of Addiction”
“I tried just about everything to quit drinking. Nothing worked. I was a binge drinker living on borrowed time – I was 56 years old with two brothers dead of addiction by their 40s. My life and health were rapidly breaking down. Then one day I heard an advertisement for a ten-day treatment program that promised to take away my cravings. Too good to be true? That was in 2005 and I’ve not had a drink since. My book describes the treatment program in detail. My family and I are forever grateful to Schick Shadel Hospital!”

In addition to my father, grandfathers, and several uncles, two of my three brothers died of addiction in their 40’s. Being alive is not a given in my family. But I am alive, I’m thriving and I’ve come a long way since those days. I still have no cravings and alcohol still has no place in my life…
