Alcoholic's Anonymous The primary purpose of Alcoholics Anonymous, an informal society of more than two million recovered alcoholics in the U.S., Canada, and other countries, is to help its members stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety. According to its Web site, AA "is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization, or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; [and] neither endorses nor opposes any causes."
Alcoholic Beverage Medical Research Foundation The Baltimore-based Alcoholic Beverage Medical Research Foundation is devoted to supporting research on the effects of alcohol on health and behavior and the prevention of alcohol-related problems. Since its establishment as a 501(c)(3) organization by the malt beverage industries of the U.S. and Canada in 1982, the organization has supported the projects of more than 360 academic investigators at some 170 universities and research institutions.
Danger to your health: Alcohol Abuse. Although alcohol abuse is not yet alcohol dependence, it can be difficult for people with a problem to recognize it within themselves. It can be even more difficult for them to stop this type of drinking pattern.
Drug Abuse Resistance Education Drug Abuse Resistance Education, or DARE, seeks to provide students with knowledge about the effects of drug abuse that goes beyond its physical ramifications and extends to its emotional, social, and economic aspects. The organization also aims to build decision-making and problem-solving skills and strategies to help students make informed decisions and resist drug use, peer pressure, and violence.
National Families in Action The Atlanta-based National Families in Action, an institute under the purview of the National Institutes of Health, works to help families and communities prevent drug abuse among children by promoting policies based on science. NIAAA supports and conducts biomedical and behavioral research on the causes, consequences, treatment, and prevention of alcoholism and alcohol-related problems, and also provides leadership in the national effort to reduce the severe and often fatal consequences of these problems.
Partnership for a Drug-Free America, a nonprofit coalition of professionals from the communications industry, is dedicated to reduce the demand for illegal drugs in America. Through its national anti-drug ad campaign and other forms of media communication, the Partnership works to decrease demand for drugs by changing societal attitudes that support, tolerate, and condone drug use.

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration SAMHSA was established by Congress in 1992 to strengthen the nation's healthcare capacity to provide prevention, diagnosis, and treatment services for substance abuse and mental illnesses. Working in partnership with states, communities, and private organizations, SAMHSA serves as the umbrella under which substance abuse and mental health service centers are housed. These include the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), and the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT).
