250 WORD DESCRIPTION:
You'd never see them at a methadone clinic, or an addiction recovery center. You certainly won't find them hanging out on street corners, nodding off or staggering around. They have good jobs, good incomes-all the trappings of success.

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

For the first time, a doctor has developed a treatment program especially for "hidden" addicts-people whose lives look just fine on the surface, but who are secretly driven by stress into addictive, destructive behaviors. Until now, many of these people have been alone in their struggle, their addictions undetected by friends, colleagues, even sometimes family. Now this breakthrough program treats both hidden substance abuse problems and their underlying causes, without unnecessarily stigmatizing these otherwise highly-functioning people.

Richard Gracer, MD, is the founder and director of Gracer Medical Group, 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 has pioneered a revolutionary 5-step treatment protocol that addresses substance abuse cravings and their underlying causes through intensive short-term treatment across several disciplines. It uses several new drugs-some very recently approved by the FDA-that promise to revolutionize the treatment of addictions, as well as a comprehensive support system to address the many challenges addicts face. He is certified by ASAM, the American Society of Addition Medicine.
