Why
Your Support is Important
Addiction to alcohol and drugs is a private struggle. Although
alcoholism is the largest and most costly public health problem (click
here to see list of diseases/conditions and their annual costs),
there are few patient advocacy groups supporting the research effort
into its causes, treatments, and cure.
The
growth of the Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies over the past decade
would not have been possible without the support of many generous
donors and benefactors. We are grateful to the Bowles family for our
building, and to many others for our research, treatment, education,
and prevention programs. Better methods for treating alcoholism and
withdrawal are within sight, but greater resources are needed to turn
the dream of a reliable cure into reality.
Give
to Our Research, Treatment and Prevention Efforts
Our
research efforts into the causes, prevention and treatment of alcoholism
and alcohol abuse rely on donations. We urge you to call or write
if you would like to support our work. All donations are tax deductible.
Elizabeth
Amend, Associate Director for Development, is involving
our community (local, state and beyond) in campaigns to sustain and
expand research and treatment programs. If you would like to help,
or you know someone who wants to be involved in a mission that will
benefit society and the many thousands who suffer from this curable
disease, please contact:
