Summary of Cost-Benefit Study Results for Navy Alcoholism Rehabilitation Programs.

Abstract

This report summarizes the results of the cost-benefit studies carried out for the Department of the Navy's (DoN) Alcoholism Prevention Program (NAPP). This work focuses on the effects of the resident treatment programs on replacement, hospitalization, accidents, jurisprudence and productivity aspects of Navy and Marine Corps operations. Aggregated economic costs and losses due to alcohol abuse in the DoN are estimated and presented. The report concludes that the existing resident treatment effort for alcoholics is highly cost effective and in the best interests of the Navy and Marine Corps. Further, the annual economic losses to the DoN are of such magnitude that continued efforts toward alcoholism prevention and earlier identification of alcoholics are warranted. (Author)
