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.
