The author asserts that standard medical treatment for drug dependency sets in place a new, but medically and governmentally approved, drug dependency. In fact, this is what treatment centers typically offer to those suffering from what Success believes is not only a worldly burden but an actual work of the devil. Her counter to this long-standing medical practice is the love of God, of Jesus. Only this offers the inner joy and strength needed to conquer all drug habituation. She points out that even some treatment personnel regularly use medications to tolerate their work, and many famous people use and advocate for drugs, making them seem desirable. Remedies begin with reading the Bible. Readers should try to read at least one sentence a day in place of the addictive substance use. Eating healthily and pursuing further education are other means to help addicts break the link with evil.

Success has worked in a drug addiction clinic in Ireland for more than ten years and writes from professional observation and a strongly held Christian faith. She wants addicts, especially young people, to understand that using a medical drug such as methadone, often prescribed for opiate or heroin-addicted patients, is simply another form of permanent enslavement to a drug, to Satan, especially since most treatment centers offer only that remedy. She believes that God's love can overcome addiction if the addict chooses to take that path. Replacing "medication with the word of God" will allow one to see how much can be accomplished without drugs. The effects will be obvious, in positive feelings and actions. Success's heart-felt combination of revealing the disturbing facts about standard addiction treatment and urging a religious solution may well offer many readers a positive life change.
