A New Prescription for Addiction: Press Releases

Is Someone You Love a "Secret" Addict?
Help Free Your Loved Ones from Drug Addiction, Alcoholism, Methamphetamine, Cocaine or other Substance Abuse with MD's Groundbreaking Treatment & Book

SANTA ROSA, CA, May 15, 2007: You'd never see them at a methadone clinic, or an addiction recovery center. They won't be hanging out on street corners, nodding off or staggering around. They've good jobs, good incomes, and all the trappings of success.

But when they think nobody's looking…they're popping the pills or hitting the bottle. They need help…but they're not ready to ask. And by the time their loved ones finally demand that they seek help, that carefully composed life will be starting to unravel.

For the first time, a doctor has developed an addiction and alcoholism control program especially for hidden addicts-people whose lives look just fine on the outside, but underneath, they're driven by stress into addictive, destructive behaviors.

Dr. Richard Gracer has pioneered a revolutionary multi-step treatment protocol that addresses substance abuse cravings and their underlying causes through intensive short-term treatment across several disciplines, and then provides a variety of ongoing treatments that drastically reduce the risk of relapse. For a small number of patients, there is even a once-a-month pharmaceutical treatment that eliminates the need for the addict to remember to take daily medication.

In his new book, A NEW PRESCRIPTION FOR ADDICTION (Elite Books, 2007), Dr. Gracer makes this treatment program available to hidden addicts and their families around the world, not just those who can find their way to his California office.

Richard Gracer, MD, is the founder and director of Gracer Medical Group in San Ramon, CA, which has been holistically treating patients with complex health issues since 1979. In 2005, he launched Gracer Behavioral Health Services specifically to treat addiction, alcoholism, and other stress-related mental health issues. He is certified in Addiction Medicine by the American Society of Addiction Medicine.

Elite Books, founded in 1997, is an award-winning independent press dedicated to producing excellent health and relationship books. Its 33 titles include Soul Medicine, The Biology of Belief, Healing the Heart of the World, Body Brilliance, and many others.
