What if the most broken institution in America could be healed by the same principles that save lives in addiction?Anthony Grandelis, MD, is a fellowship-trained OB-GYN hospitalist, a nationally recognized medical educator - and an addict in recovery. In The Recovery Prescription, he argues that these identities don’t exist in spite of each other. They exist because of each other.After entering inpatient treatment for substance use disorder during his medical training, Dr. Grandelis returned to medicine with a question that wouldn’t leave him: Why does a system devoted to healing operate on the same principles of shame, silence, and denial that destroy addicts’ lives?Drawing on the foundational principles of addiction recovery - honesty, humility, presence, accountability, community, and service - The Recovery Prescription offers a practical, values-based framework for transforming how care is delivered in the United States. Written for physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers, residents, medical students, hospital administrators, and anyone who cares about the future of healthcare, The Recovery Prescription speaks directly to the moral injury so many clinicians carry - and offers a way forward rooted not in grand reform, but in daily practice.Each chapter pairs a recovery principle with the realities clinicians face daily: the culture of silence around burnout and mental health, the stigma that keeps healthcare workers from asking for help, the institutional denial that drives moral injury, and the quiet erosion of presence that disconnects providers from the patients they entered medicine to serve. Woven throughout is Dr. Grandelis’s own story - his relapses, his experience with professional retaliation, and a recovery that changed not just how he lives, but how he leads.The Recovery Prescription is a book for healthcare professionals who have lost themselves in a system that was never designed to sustain them - and who are ready to recover.Together, we can recover healthcare.
