Alcoholism - Under Attack In Southeast Ky. Alcoholism, one of the more serious problems In Southeastern

Kentucky, has come under attack by the Cumberland River Men-tal Health Center. Although most of the a rea Is " d r y , " there Is an estimated 4,400 alcoholics living here . The Mental Health Center felt that a concerned effort should be made to develop a well-organized plan to cover the facets of the Illness.

In September of 1971 the Center was awarded a staffing grant by the Natlonpl Institute of Mental Health to begin a community

rehabilitation and education program concerning al-n e and alcoholism. 1 D. Mulllns, Executive Director, stated: "What we

is-a team of specialists In Alcoholism Services who will be thoroughly trained In what Is currently known about a l -coholism, one that could act i s » task force within the scope of our Regional Mental Health Centers in the six county a r e a . "

In the few months since the program was Initiated, much has been accomplished. A s t a l j of 16 people, representing a variety of disciplines, has been hired. CourtSchool Programs have been started, public education meetings have been held with church groups, civic organizations, ministerial associations, and the Fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon groups.

The Alcoholism Services found that an area of service that needed to be Implemented was Emergency-Detoxlflcatlon-Re-habllltatlon, if a total program of recovery for the alcoholic was to be successful. To meet this demand, a lease was ob-tained to use the~ fourth floor of the T.B. Hospital at London.

Alan C. Easley, Director of Alcoholism Services, was very happy about the acquisition. He said: "We will now be able to carry through with a complete program for the alcoholic — Many of them can be helped."

This Center Is located on the northeast end of the fourth floor of the hospital. It occupies approximately 3,200 square feet which provides an Inpatient capacity of 12 beds and office apace

for the Alcoholism Counselor, Family Services Coordinator and nurses who provide coverage on a 24 hour, seven day a week basis.

Easley stated: "A staff physician recommends both the entry and exit of the patient for the rehabilitation process. Included is a se r ies of group therapy sessions, family counseling, as well as some exposure to A.A. and Al-Anon groups."
