Abstract
ABSTRACT A unique need for a special population led to including alcohol and substance use and mental health resources on Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center’s Veterans LibGuide. Veterans in the United States have above average rates of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other mental illnesses. Alcohol and substance use can be a way of coping with mental illnesses and other issues in life. Making information easy to find may result in addressing more health concerns, not only for the veteran themselves, but also for their family. The TTUHSC LibGuide provides easy access to credible public health resources.

Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly is an exciting professional journal for clinicians working with persons who are alcoholic and their families. Designed to bridge the gap between research journals and information for the general public, it addresses the specific concerns of professional alcoholism counselors, social workers, psychologists, physicians, clergy, nurses, employee assistance professionals, and others who provide direct services to persons who are alcoholic. The journal features articles specifically related to the treatment of alcoholism, highlighting new and innovative approaches to care, describing clinical problems and solutions, and detailing practical, unique approaches to intervention and therapy.
