An international website dedicated to providing current information on news, newsletters, reports,publications, abstracts of peer-reviewed research articles and data briefs concerning alcoholism and alcohol-related problems throughout the world.
Since 1975, more than 190,000 lives have been saved through increased awareness and legislation related to alcohol-impaired driving. Still, impaired driving exacts too great a toll on American families.
Here are the facts according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration:
In any given year, only 12 percent of people who have alcohol dependence will seek any kind of help or be in contact with an alcoholism treatment provider or an Alcoholics Anonymous affiliate. Over a lifetime, it's 24 percent. There is very clearly a substantial unmet need.
