Alcohol treatment systems are part of a vast, chaotic world of changing health care organizations, professions, and financing streams. As the changes unfold, we need to continually update our understanding of how people get to treatment and of the barriers along the way. Medical and health services research has traditionally viewed treatment-seeking as an individual, voluntary process. Studies have focused on the individual’s beliefs about whether treatment works, family support for obtaining help, and the role of personal characteristics in predisposing people to seek help. In doing so, the research has often neglected to pay attention to the individual’s relationships to organizations that play increasingly important roles in treatment entry and to a society with ever-shifting views on the importance of a strong medical response to alcohol problems.Today, large organizations–insurance companies, employee assistance programs, the medical, criminal justice, and welfare systems–dominate pathways to alcohol treatment. Getting help for a drinking problem typically involves coercion by the police or courts, or the workplace or welfare office, as well as pressure from family and friends. Alcohol treatment systems have grown closer to, and more interdependent with, criminal justice and welfare systems, in part, due to exogenous developments such as prison overcrowding and welfare reform. Under managed care, physicians, insurance companies, and health plans play new critical gatekeeping roles by determining who does and does not get treatment. While these changes began in private insurance plans, they are spreading rapidly to public ones such as Medicaid.
