Forty-three percent of AA members under 30 claim they were addicted to another drug as well as to alcohol.
Among 12-to 17-year-olds who consume alcohol, an estimated 31% had extreme levels of psychological distress, and 39% exhibited serious behavioral problems.
According to recent government studies, the rate of alcohol impairment among drivers involved in fatal crashes was four times higher at night than during the day.
Treatment: NIAAA-supported researchers have made considerable progress in evaluating commonly used therapies and in developing new types of therapies to treat alcohol-related problems. One large-scale study sponsored by NIAAA found that each of three commonly used behavioral treatments for alcohol abuse and alcoholism-motivation enhancement therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and 12-step facilitation therapy-significantly reduced drinking in the year following treatment. This study also found that approximately one-third of the study participants who were followed up either were still abstinent or were drinking without serious problems 3 years after the study ended. Other therapies that have been evaluated and found effective in reducing alcohol problems include brief intervention for alcohol abusers (individuals who are not dependent on alcohol) and behavioral marital therapy for married alcohol-dependent individuals.
