"…Addiction is a medical disease not a sin: family and friends can find solutions to help bring them from the dark world of addiction to a life of recovery. Patients can be treated …so they can return to their lives as whole and healed as possible. After reading A New Prescription for Addiction I feel that Dr. Gracer has achieved his noble goal."

"…Defeating the stigma that comes from ignorance about the disease of addiction is best done by education. We have all heard it said that information is power. In the case of addiction, education is the first empowering step in restoring dignity to the patient and those who love and care for him or her. I trust that many will find the resources they need by reading this book."
"…Dr. Gracer does more than just examine our approach to addiction and mental health delivery. Through poignant cases from his own practice he tells how we can do better. He provides a blueprint for action and offers a prescription for improvement."
