Addlcrs Hope: Team Treatment

family solve its social and economic
problems, is Of vital importance to the
patients recovery.
As a rule today, alcoholics are treated
BY general practicing physicians. The
American Medical Associations Com
mittee on Alcoholism is making every
effort to assist the physician in the treat
ment of alcoholism and to help him in
the solution Of its manifold and often
annoying problems.
Facing Facts
Skillful treatment can do wonders, but
the shame Of being an alcoholic keeps
many from seeking it. IF you recognize
in yourself or anyone close to you the
signs Of compulsive drinking (see Quiz
on page 81, it IS imperative to get
help before health and happiness are
destroyed. The earlier the treatment
is started, the sooner can complete 10
Mobilization be achieved.
The greatest hope for the control Of
alcoholism in this country lies in remOv-
ing its cloud Of shame and secrecy.
Already the American Medical Associa-
tons Committee on Alcoholism IS max
ing our family physicians acutely aware
Of the increasing problem. The ANA is
also encouraging hospitals to accept
alcoholic patients, instead Of often bar
ring them in the false belief that they are
disturbing influences.
Most important Of all. more and more
women - and men too - must admit
their illness and ask help from doctors,
social agencies or the new Alcoholism
Information Centers that exist in many
large cities. AS more people use them.
bigger and better treatment facilities will
be opened. CTo find the nearest infor-
nation center, you may write to Henry
Blanchard, National Council on AlcO-
holism, 2 East lO3rd Street, New York
g, N. " Only by couraeeously fac
ing the facts can we conquer the secret
disease. The End

than the male alcoholic. He may drink
for 10 or 70 years before he becomes a
physical wreck, but q woman alcoholic
often ruins her health in matter Of
months. Amnesia or ''blackouts," men
tal illness. cinhosis Of the liver and neu-
ritis are the price one in every four pays
for drinking.
Although women's new role in the
world IS contributing to the increase
in alcoholism, it is also leading to bet
ter and more scientific treatment Of the
disease. Husbands and parents fire.
Quently help to hide victims secret
disease, but employers have faced up to
il as a serious business problem, one Of
the major factors in absenteeism and
inefficiency. Many are telling employees
that they must Set treatment or lose
their jobs, and thus they force drinkers
to take the first step toward recovery.
At our Alcoholic Consultation Ser
vice we treat problem drinkers, men and
women, from such institutions as Con-
solidated Edison and other large con-
Germs. These companies have combined
to use our services. and over 80 per cent
of the women patients are controlled
and doing well.
Fewer Failures
Who is to help the housewife, or the
woman whose employer does not offer
such a service? Our current intensive
research indicates highly effective treat
ment can be given BY team Of special
lists medical doctors, psychiatrists, social
workers and groups like Alcoholics
Anonymous. Even this team has its fall
ures, but these get fewer each year.
The treatment itself, which varies with
the patients needs, includes such tested
methods as group or individual psyche
therapy to get at the roots of the prob
lem, vitamin and hormones to restore
physical health, tranquilizing drugs to
lessen anxiety, and hospital care. Social
treatment, an attempt to help the whole

WORDS, WIT

BY WILLIAM NORRIS

A political phrase more than

sends q clipping reporting that
- congressional tangle may
result from efforts TO put the
construction Of q new Federal
building on q pork barrel

General Services Administra-

about construction" What Mr..
Schwindt wants to know is:
Can YOU explain what's meant
by pork barrel basis'2 I can

aries available 10 me-"
Pork barrel" originally was
the total amount of contribu-
tions to the campaign fund Of
