NAPPH (National Association of Private Psychiatric Hospitals) white paper on inpatient treatment for alcoholism.

Earlier this year, the National Association of Private Psychiatric Hospitals brought together a group of experts to reexamine and update the Association's position on inpatient treatment for alcoholism. The resulting white paper explains the role of the hospital in the treatment of various types and degrees of alcoholism, including alcoholism that coexists with significant psychiatric illnesses. This document is meant as a springboard to discussions both within the hospital and with those outside the hospital (insurers, employers, case managers, benefits managers) whose decisions have a critical impact on treatment options.
