Advisory Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse
The Advisory Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse was a U.S. federal group that provided expert guidance and recommendations to address issues related to alcohol and drug misuse. Its role included informing policies, supporting prevention and treatment programs, and raising awareness about substance abuse's health and social impacts. The council helped shape national strategies and ensured that efforts to combat addiction were effective and evidence-based. Although its functions are now integrated into other agencies, its work contributed significantly to public understanding and policy development around substance abuse issues.
