Title: Alcohol
Description: Throughout history, and across cultures, alcohol has affected the fabric of society through abuse and addiction, contributed to violence and accidents, and caused injuries and health issues. In Alcohol: Its History, Pharmacology, and Treatment, part of Hazelden's Library of Addictive Drugs series, Cheryl Cherpitel, Dr.P.H. and Mark Rose, M.A. examine the nature and extent of alcohol use in the United States, current treatment models and demographics, and the biology of alcohol, addiction, and treatment.

As a result of high-quality, groundbreaking scientific research in the last decade, we've experienced enormous leaps in our knowledge of alcoholism and its treatment, including advancements in understanding the biological basis of alcoholism and the effectiveness of existing treatments and their outcomes.
