NIAAA Sponsors Upcoming Demand Treatment! Institute

When: April 2–5, 2003
Where: San Francisco, CA
Institute: National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)

NIAAA continues its collaboration with Join Together and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to sponsor Demand Treatment! Institutes. Upcoming institute sessions will provide information on screening, brief interventions, and referrals to treatment; information about National Alcohol Screening Day; different methods and instruments for screening; links between alcohol and other diseases, particularly infectious diseases and more.

Demand Treatment! is a national initiative to increase the number of people who get quality treatment for alcohol and other drug problems. Demand Treatment! Institutes are held periodically to increase knowledge of new research findings on addiction and dependency and to facilitate a discussion of its implications for effective alcohol and drug abuse treatment and prevention. The Demand Treatment! Institutes focus on the four DT principles: leadership, information for action, quality services, and ending discrimination against persons seeking treatment and recovery.

The DT Partner Communities include: Boise, ID; Chicago, IL; Denver, CO; Des Moines, IA; Houston, TX; Indianapolis, IN; Knoxville, TN; Manchester, NH; Mobile, AL; Nashville, TN; Pittsburgh, PA; San Antonio, TX; San Francisco, CA; Trenton, NJ; Tucson, AZ; Carroll County, MD; Everett, MA; Gallatin/Bozeman County, MT; Genesee County/Flint, MI; Lancaster County/Lincoln, NE; Louisville, KY; Milwaukee County, WI; Rochester, NY; Sacramento, CA; San Diego, CA; Sarasota, FL; Washoe County/Reno, NV; Williamsburg, VA;, and Southeastern PA. More detailed information is available at: www.jointogether.org/sa/action/dt/program/partners/.

Collaboration for this event occurs under the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), Alcohol Research to Practice Network, which underscores NIAAA's focus on the crucial link between research and practice, and the interdependence between the research and services communities. The goal of the Network is to foster the application of alcohol research as an important part of the solution for solving human problems by encouraging the adoption of research advances into the prevention and treatment of alcohol abuse and alcoholism.
