A major national goal is to improve the health of the populace
while advancing our opportunities to pursue happiness. Simulta
neously, there are both increasing health costs and increasing
demands that more be accomplished with less financial support. The
number of deaths attributable to the consumption of alcohol in the
US is about 100,000 per year, and the annual cost of this addiction
is over $100 billion. Improved treatment methods can both reduce
these costs and improve health by preventing the continued exposure
of abusers to the toxic effects of alcohol. This third volume of
Drug and Alcohol Abuse Reviews focuses on the strategies currently
thought best for the treatment of alcohol and tobacco abuse. A
variety of approaches to treating alcohol abuse employ those
psychosocial factors that are known to influence alcohol use in
youth and adults. Pharmacotherapy has also been evaluated at the
National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism by leaders in
alcohol treatment research. One key review investigates forming a
developmental framework for the treatment of adolescent alcohol
abusers, a major challenge. Although the main emphasis is on the
treatment of alcoholism, a major cofactor for many drug users is
nicotine (tobacco) addiction, whose treatment is also reviewed. And
the roles of learning and outpatient services are shown to affect
treatment significantly. Thus, the problems confronted and
solutions used in alcohol abuse treatment have here been analyzed
in concise reviews that provide evidence for today's best hypoth
eses and conclusions."
