The Four Causes of Addiction

History of Passages' Holistic Philosophy


It's been twenty years since Passages began treating people worldwide. Thousands have proved its success and the success of this remarkably life-changing philosophy. Together, Chris and Pax Prentiss have successfully built a treatment program that has helped save thousands of people from all over the world. There are no two people who know and understand how to pinpoint and heal addiction-related issues better than Chris and Pax Prentiss.

As Pax's father, Chris, witnessed his son struggle for nearly ten years to get clean and sober, they heard time after time the same sad story, "Alcoholism and addiction are diseases, and Pax will always be an addict." That was not the answer they were going to accept. Instead, they paved a new way for people like yourself and a refreshing style of looking at addiction as a disease or a forever defective mentality that they found damaging and outdated.

12 Step meetings, 12 Step sponsorships, and doctors who preached the 12 Step methodology continued to fail Pax as he relapsed nearly fifty times before him and his father, Chris created a program customized around Pax's specific needs in healing. Together, they implemented a holistic therapy plan that gave Pax the help he needed to completely break free from his substance abuse related issues and live a healthy life free from addiction.

It is because of the Passages treatment program that Pax and thousands of other people around the world were able to end the cycle of their addiction and heal the underlying causes driving them to use and abuse drugs and alcohol. Pax is now the CEO of Passages and runs a smooth and thriving organization. From Paris to Los Angeles, New York, South America to Scotland, Pax has inspired change and transformation in people, just like him, who wanted to be free of drug and alcohol abuse.

Chris and Pax have discovered that there are only four primary causes of alcoholism and addiction over the years. Once those reasons are found in an individual, with proper treatment, they can win their battle with addiction and live a fulfilling and meaningful life.
