Addiction and Chemical Dependency Resources

Contents: This page is primarily oriented toward addictions and mental health professionals who are looking for accurate information on addiction, chemical dependency and treatment. It includes Web sites, FTP servers and some TELNET sites.

The World-wide Web Resources for Social Workers WWWRSW currently contains 55,000 links.
The Web of Addiction is a very professionally presented site with detailed information on addiction.
The National Clearinghouse For Alcohol and Drug Information (NCADI) contains a long list of files for downloading on a wide variety of substance abuse topics, an online service called PREVline and two searchable databases, the NCADI Information on Drugs and Alcohol database and the Citizen's Directory. The National Surveys of Household Drug Abuse are available for download in presentation formats with graphics and text. One can follow this link to telnet to PREVline or go directly via telnet to: ncadi.health.org. There are live teleconferences and e-mail facilities on PREVline which one can access by signing up for a free account online. I have not explored the site extensively but it looks promising.
The Addiction Research Foundation is a site with some information and a telnet link. It contains some drug information files but warns users that the information may be dated.
Indiana University has a couple of useful files on substance abuse aimed at college students; however, the information is applicable to anyone. One file describes how to approach someone that you are concerned about with suggested "do's" and "don'ts" which are straight forward and in my experience, accurate. There is also a personal checklist that one can fill out to assess one's own substance abuse (or use with others) which is nicely done.
A resource for those people who are looking for the location of a self help meeting(AA etc.) locally or may be looking for the location of meetings while travelling to the mainland for business or pleasure.
