The Alcohol Use Disorders Clinical Knowledge Center joins previously released Centers in the areas of bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Several additional Centers are scheduled for rollout in 2007.

The Alcohol Use Disorders Clinical Knowledge Center features resources such as:
