Note: Alcohol treatment utilization is broadly defined to include utilization of specialty services (detoxification, inpatient, outpatient, and rehabilitation programs) and non-specialty services (Alcoholic Anonymous, family or social services, emergency room, halfway house, crisis center, employee assistance program, clergyman, physician or mental health clinicians) for one's drinking from baseline to follow-up.
