Acknowledgments

Firstly, I would like to dedicate this book to health professionals who devote the majority of their professional lives dealing with all aspects of drug rehabilitation and to the family members of those suffering from addiction. My deep gratitude to my parents for their love and support throughout my life. Thanks to my wife for her constant love, encouragement, and understanding during those times I have spent researching and writing this book. I want to thank my students, who over the years have helped me to discover the joy of teaching. Finally, I would like to thank many people whose help and inspiration made this project possible. André Luiz Monezi Andrade For from Him and through Him and for Him are all things. (Romans 11:36) To Nicolau, my love and great encourager… together we are always better and stronger! For Nicolas and Carla, who teach me every day about unconditional love and day by day make me feel the most special person in the world. To my parents, Regina and Gian, examples of love and perseverance. Denise De Micheli
