CNS Productions’ recently released, Beyond Opiates: The Evolving Science of Pain and Addiction, a creative and educational book that offers the science behind addiction in a way that really hits home.   Written by industry experts Dr. Darryl S. Inaba and Paul Steinbroner, this book presents an intellectual and emotional journey of what it means to be an opiate addict.

Beyond Opiates contains detailed illustrations that help to bridge the knowledge gap between the scientific and lay communities.  The dialogue blurbs directly explain scientific concepts, while the illustrations offer deeper emotional explanations that anyone can understand and relate to.  Together the text and illustrations tell harrowing stories of opiate addiction, but empower readers with knowledge, validation and courage.  Such is the power of making the science of addiction and recovery accessible to many different kinds of readers.

This book is truly for everyone: the addict, the artist, the professional and the observer.
