Alcohol research – National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence

Recovery is possible.  In fact, we estimate that almost 20 millions individuals and families are living life in recovery!  We know.  Your visit to the NCADD website has brought you to the right place.
 
For nearly 70 years, NCADD has been a valuable resource for millions of people struggling with addiction.  Our founder, Marty Mann, was a true pioneer.  Marty got sober in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).  When AA was just getting started in 1935, Marty’s sponsor was AA Co-founder, Bill Wilson.  Marty exuded courage and unwavering belief in the dignity of all people.  She worked tirelessly to provide education to raise the awareness of addiction across our society.

Marty made two important policy decisions when she first started NCADD:
  1. For NCADD to be a credible agent for changing people’s attitude and understanding of alcoholism, it would need the involvement and support of the medical scientific community; and
  2. To change people’s attitude and understanding meant changing people’s behavior, so NCADD must offer professionally trained counseling services at the local level where people live and need help.”
