Author, Psychologist Delves into Physician Addiction, the Opioid Epidemic in New Book
SEBASTOPOL, Calif. (PRWEB) January 07, 2019 -- A writer and psychologist has released his thrilling drama that delves into the important subject of physician addiction and, through its compelling cast of characters, provides a gritty look into the complex and sinister nature of substance abuse and relapse as well as a realistic depiction of the hard work required to heal and reach recovery.
In “Now It’s Inescapable,” author Bill McCausland unravels the story of Dr. Glen Coyle, a charming cosmetic surgeon who seems to have it all – a beautiful wife, successful practice and financial security. But his secret addiction to opiates leaves him on the cusp of ruin after his practice sees a steady uptick in patients experiencing post-operative infections, and officials from the DEA pay him a visit to investigate his abnormally high rate of pain pill prescriptions.
“Through this book, I hope to illuminate the important issue of physician substance abuse as well as shine a light on the timely topic of opiate addiction,” Dr. McCausland said.
Drawn from the author’s decades of experience treating addicted doctors, “Now It’s Inescapable” taps into the social and legal realities as well as the mental health challenges that accompany addiction while also providing readers with a compelling and inspiring narrative.
