Abstract
Although assessment in the field of alcoholism treatment is generally verbal in nature, biological tests can also provide counselors and program evaluators useful and unique information. Five such laboratory measures are briefly described, with particular emphasis on carbohydrate deficient transferrin, a biomarker recently approved by the FDA. Applications for laboratory tests in alcohol screening, motivating patients, and monitoring treatment progress are also proposed.Entities:
