Heaven sent help!

Jeff Jay is the author of another book that was very helpful to my family, entitled: Love First. I bought this book for our family because one of our loved ones has both schizophrenia and crack addiction (44 years old; 26 yrs. active addiction). Finding any real help for those with SERIOUS mental illnesses and chemical dependency is nearly impossible! This book provides relevant, current information, and very good advice. I highly recommend it to anyone coping with a loved one with dual diagnosis. Our loved one is now in treatment (PRAISE GOD!), and it's due in part to the changes we made around him that supported and encouraged his decision to seek help. It hasn't been an easy road: he's had to be hospitalized three times during treatment for breaks with reality. But for the first time in 26 years we have hope! May God bless the efforts of any other families seeking help for loved ones in similar situations.
