Press Release Body = Two well known public figures have had their relapses to
alcoholism in the news. Mel Gibson's anti-semitic statements due alcohol and Robin
William's relapse to drinking after twenty years of sobriety raises important
questions about the approach to alcoholism treatment in affluent, well-known public
figures. Is alcoholism treatment and alcoholism recovery different for those in the
public eye versus the general population?

"Alcoholism treatment for affluent, public figures needs to take very specific
issues into account that tend not to be significant factors for the average
person entering alcoholism recovery. Factors such as privacy, publicity damage
control and where and what type of addiction treatment these people get must be
addressed," states Stephen Gilman, M.D. nationally recognized addiction
psychiatrist and alcoholism treatment expert. "Neglecting their special needs
is a sure way to derail effective alcoholism treatment."

Dr. Gilman is a powerful, informative interview. He will tell your audience:
. The special alcoholism recovery needs of affluent public figures - or anyone
concerned with others' view of their alcohol problem
. Why these individuals always seem to enter 28 day rehab centers for treatment -
is it really necessary?
. Alternative alcoholism recovery options for these individuals that do NOT require
leaving home and work
. Publicity damage control - whether you're a celebrity or someone who needs to
maintain the best public image in time of "addiction crisis" (You don't need a PR
firm for this)
