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!”

The way I was drinking in those final days before treatment threatened my very existence. I come from a long line of alcoholics. 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…
