Sheff’s book aims at proving that addiction is a disease that needs to be treated in a scientific way. “Clean” is David Sheff’s reaction to his first book as his son relapsed in 2008 and is now five years sober. Sheff said that reading each other’s accounts brought them closer and caused them to understand what the other was going through. Nic also released a book that year called, “Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines,” which chronicled his side of the story. Sheff is known for his 2008 bestseller, “Beautiful Boy,” a memoir about his drug-addicted son, Nic. His new book, “Clean: Overcoming Addiction and Ending America’s Greatest Tragedy,” is the product of five years of research and scientifically examines the causes of addictions and how to properly treat it, because the current methods are not working. After his desperate grappling with his son’s drug abuse, author and journalist David Sheff could not let go of the topic of addiction.
