title = "The transformation of private alcohol problem treatment. Results of a national study",
abstract = "Private alcohol problem treatment in the United States arose from a social movement that began after Prohibition and culminated in the founding of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism in 1970. Using a treatment model that incorporated much of the ideology of Alcoholics Anonymous, an isomorphic set of private treatment centers grew rapidly across the country with support and assistance from NIAAA. As this support diminished and cost containment emerged, a crisis struck the population of treatment centers, leading to many closures. Nonetheless, most of the centers have survived. This chapter uses data from a national longitudinal study of privately funded alcohol problem treatment centers to illustrate the transformation of the treatment industry during the 1990s. We argue that this transformation results from an increased difficulty in obtaining treatment funding due to the health care cost-containment practices of managed care.",

note = "Funding Information: A joint effort of the University of Georgia and Georgia Institute of Technology, and funded by the NIAAA, the National Treatment Center Study is based on a nationally representative sample of 505 private sector alcohol problem treatment centers. Centers were selected from a stratified random sample of geographic areas throughout the United States. A second stage of random sampling occurred among the centers that existed within these geographic areas. Centers deemed eligible for inclusion in our study had to explicitly offer alcohol problem treatment Funding Information: The authors gratefully acknowledge support from the following research grants from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism in the preparation of this manuscript: R01 AA 07218 and R01 AA 10130.",
