EDUCATION, INFRMATION,
HELP AND HOPE
Since 1944, the
National Council on Alcoholism
and Drug Dependence has been a leader in the effort to raise public awareness about alcoholism. As the oldest advocacy organization in the country addressing alcoholism and drug dependence, NCADD works at the national level on policy issues related to barriers in education, prevention and treatment for alcoholics and drug dependent persons and their families.
Marty Mann (1905-1980) founded NCADDand dedicated her life to teaching the public that alcoholism is a preventable and treatable disease --not a moral failing. |
Mary Mann, right, hands an award to Bill Wilson |
She articulated three fundamental
organizational concepts that have
informed the development of modern alcoholism treatment:
Alcoholism is a disease, and
the alcoholic is a sick person;
The alcoholic can be helped
and is worth helping;
This is a public health problem
and a public responsibility.
The Twenty QuestionsDoes drinking cause you problems?These questions relate to common problems with using alcohol. Only you can decide if you have a "drinking problem" and whether you want to do something about it.

Bill W. and Dr. Bob Thank you to attendees and sponsors! The play was a spectacular and sold-out success. As you probably know, the play was such an overwhelming success that people were wanting us to hold it over and/or make it an annual event. We couldn't hold it over, and we haven't thought far enough ahead about whether it could become annnual event, but we're thrilled you want us to.

According to the National Justice Institute, 80 percent of crimes committed by criminal offenders, parolees and probationers involve abuse of "multipliers of crime" such as alcohol or illegal substances. In order to support expensive drug habits, users sometimes engage in crimes such as robbery, prostitution or even aggressive panhandling. |
