Anyone with a drinking problem is encouraged to attend Alcoholics
Anonymous meetings. Look up "Alcoholics Anonymous" in the white
pages of the phone book. Call for the nearest location and meeting
times in your area. There are also many books about alcoholism
that are available at your local bookstore or library.
Student or Employee Assistance Programs are excellent resources
that offer education, counseling, and referral services for
alcohol problems.
Ask your healthcare provider for information about treatment of
alcoholism. Many hospitals and agencies have programs offering
alcohol and drug treatment. You can find these services by looking
under "alcoholism" or "alcoholism treatment" in the yellow pages
of your phone book.
