Although the panel reached an agreement on six recommendations for policy changes that can make help more accessible and expand treatment to more people. These recommendations are: (1) treatment for alcoholism and other drug addiction must be covered as a health benefit on an equal basis with treatment for other diseases; (2) limited access to treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction is a national crisis that calls for a broad-based national campaign to educate the public and build political support;(3) research on the nature and treatment of addiction and recovery should be expanded and the results made accessible to professionals, policymakers, and the public;(4) education and training on addiction and recovery should be required for all health, mental health, social service, and justice system professionals;(5) treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction must be monitored by independent treatment managers with no vested financial interests in order to ensure ongoing treatment effectiveness; and (6) diagnosis, treatment, and long-term recovery must be integrated into a coordinated community-wide strategy to reduce alcohol and other drug problems.

  • Women Who Made a Difference
    White, W. (2004). Women who made (and are making) a difference. Counselor, 5(5), 25-29. Women Who Made (and are Making) a Difference William L. White When I entered the field of addiction treatment in the 1960s, it was a man’s world, and it had been a man’s world for more than 175 years. It was a professional arena dominated by male service consumers, male service providers, male administrators, and male policy makers. Women filling such roles were an anomaly, not the norm. That world changed because women pioneers made significant contributions to the history of the addiction treatment field. The purpose of this article is to honor a few of these pioneers who made, and are making, a difference through their research, clinical innovation, public and professional education, public policy advocacy and through their philanthropy. Here are more than sixty women who made and are making a difference in the addiction treatment and recovery arena. Dr. Andrea Barthwell has served as the Deputy Director of Demand Reduction in the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. Before assuming this position, she served as medical director of several addiction treatment programs and as president of the board of the American Society of Addiction Medicine. Dr. Barthwell is a passionate and articulate advocate for enhanced accessibility and quality of addiction treatment. Dr. LeClair Bissell is one of the modern pioneers of addiction medicine and the broader field of addiction treatment. Her contributions to the field are reflected in awards from the American Society on Addiction Medicine and the Christopher D.
