"Acamprosate: A New Medication for Alcohol Use Disorders"
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)

announces the publication of Volume 4, Issue 1, of the Substance Abuse

Treatment Advisory, "Acamprosate: A New Medication for Alcohol Use 
Disorders." This issue of the Advisory provides substance abuse 
counselors, clinical supervisors, program managers, and other treatment

professionals with information about acamprosate, an important new 
medication to help people who are alcohol dependent. This Advisory 
provides information about acamprosate's effectiveness and safety, 
compares acamprosate with naltrexone and disulfiram, addresses patient

education, and describes effective ways to incorporate acamprosate into

treatment programming.

Improving The Quality of Health Care for Mental  and Substance-Use
Conditions: Quality Chasm Series (2006)

A previous Institute of Medicine report, Crossing the Quality Chasm: A
New Health System for the 21st Century (IOM, 2001), put forth a strategy
for improving health care overall-- a strategy that has attained
considerable traction in the US and other countries.  However, health
care for mental and substance-use conditions has a number of distinctive
characteristics, such as the greater use of coercion into treatment,
separate care delivery systems, a less developed quality measurement
infrastructure, and a differently structured marketplace. These and
other differences raised questions about whether the Quality Chasm
approach is applicable to health care for mental and substance-use
conditions and if so, how it should be applied.  

This new report examines those differences, finds that the Quality
Chasm framework is applicable to health care for mental and
substance-use conditions, and describes a multifaceted and comprehensive
strategy to do so.
