NESARC participants who reported ever having drunk alcohol were asked whether they had “ever sought help” because of drinking. Those who gave an affirmative answer were subsequently asked about their use of a number of treatment settings and providers commonly used in treatment of alcohol disorders. These included: Alcoholics Anonymous, family services, alcohol detoxification clinics, inpatient wards, outpatient clinics, alcoholism rehabilitation services, emergency rooms, halfway houses, crisis centers, employee assistance programs, clergy, health professionals, or other services.
