READ THESE PERSONAL TESTIMONIES FROM DR. BUTKINS' CLIENTS

"Dr. Butkins played an integral part in my recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction. He provided me with knowledge about the disease of addiction and taught me how to overcome the triggers that would lead me to go out and use or drink. Dr. Butkins is a very knowledgeable, respectable, and professional counselor. He truly cares for his clients and you can tell from the minute you first meet him that he is a man who has genuine concern for the addict and is willing to do what it takes to help you. I am forever grateful to Dr. Butkins for teaching and giving me the tools necessary to maintain my recovery from alcohol and substance abuse."  John - Orlando, FL  January 2009

“I met Dr. Butkins when I went to a counseling session with my alcoholic husband about 2.5 years ago. He is a highly skilled professional and is very knowledgeable on the disease of alcoholism and its affect upon the families of alcoholics. When we met, I was sick with worry and fear, angry, and unhappy. Living each day in fear of what awful thing would happen next, both my mental and physical health were beginning to suffer. When my husband went off to a rehabilitation center, I continued to see Dr. Butkins. As he challenged my thinking and attitudes and encouraged me to recognize and deal with my feelings, my mind began to open and allow me to look at life situations and the disease of alcoholism in ways that would never have occurred to me on my own. He sent me to Al-Anon where I found other people affected by a loved one’s alcoholism that were working the 12 Steps and willing to help me in my recovery. Today, there is less worry and fear in my life and more serenity. I know that Dr. Butkins’ skill, wisdom, and compassion guided me to this better way of living. I will be forever grateful.” Karen, Lake Mary, Florida


"Dr. Pete probably saved my life 7 months ago when I came to him in October, 2005. He has a great talent in evaluating problems and making you aware of them. He has helped me turn my life around and helped me see things about myself that I have been able to work on; he also helped me help others. It is the best money I have spent in many years. Thank you for being there for me." Richard A. March, 2006

"Dr. Butkins has been treating me since I was in middle school; later on at 19, (he helped me again) I had to see someone I felt comfortable with. He talks to me like a friend, not a doctor. I choose him over any other (counselor) because I look forward to seeing him; he’s just like one of my own friends. He’s very real, but not in your face;he doesn’t sugarcoat, but he’s very understanding and kind. He will help you make progress through anything and leave you feeling better than when you came in."
Jerry K. April 2006

"Dr. Butkins is the best thing that ever happened to me. I would have been dead a long time ago if it were not for him. I drank way too much and wanted to die. He has brought me through a lot; because of him I can handle anything and I love myself today." Janie D. April, 2006

"Dr. Peter Butkins has provided much needed support and direction during emotional turmoil in my life."
Ken H. - Longwood, FL April, 2006

"Dr. Butkins is an amazing guy. He has helped me so very much. When I first came to him I was ready to give up on life. With his help and guidance I pulled myself up. I’m now accepting a full paid scholarship to Stetson. Dr. Butkins saved my life. Thanks for everything." Ann A. - Orlando, FL April, 2006

This is my new book.  I wrote it after studying addiction, both yours and mine, for over 40 years.  I realized that there were many things that worked exceptionally well and I decided to list them, elaborate, and put the ideas together in a book for those who want to get sober and/or clean.  The concepts work for those who go to meetings and those who do not.  My hope is that you will make it work for you.

Love and Peace,

Doc Pete

Thank God that we now have treatment options and more of an open-minded country for those who come back addicted.

Love and Peace,

Coaches are not 12 step sponsors.  Coaches are trained to set goals, hold people accountable, listen and help direct people to become successful.  The skills are taught and 'finely tuned' in order to foster consistency and ethical behavior.

The latest SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) says that survey results indicate that 22.6 million Americans aged 12 and over used illicit drugs in 2010.  This is up 8.7% from 2009.

The article was on MSN.com and there was a place to give a comment.  This lead to a blog about legalization of drugs.  While it was good to see a discussion about this topic, most comments were made by people voting for legalization.  It's a tough topic in that I want freedom kept but don't want our government to support drug use and addiction. What's your thought?

Most addicts/alcoholics try many things before trying treatment from someone else.  The addict is driven to control his own destiny.  If this worked, we wouldn't need treatment professionals and Twelve-Step programs.  They work and attempts to treat oneself by oneself usually lead to death.

Make sure to look for an M.D. who can supervise your detox.  This procedure can be very dangerous.  Trained Doctors can assure success.

There is a way to get sober and clean that has been developed in the twelve-step programs.  It works very well.  We can 'fine tune' recovery with individualized treatment but the basics are always the same.  Go where the experts are and be an apprentice, not an untrained expert.  Thanks for listening:)

When you have tried all of the ways possible to you, go to 12 step meetings and do exactly what they say.
