Abstract
To understand the need for addiction treatment across the spectrum of adult age, this study evaluated the age of individuals with alcohol/substance use disorder (N = 541) who sought treatment in a local center in Rhode Island. Data extracted from the community showed a need for clinical research to support future addiction medicine that is age-inclusive (e.g. including older adults in clinical trials).

About the Journal
Alcohol and Alcoholism publishes papers on the biomedical, psychological, and sociological aspects of alcoholism and alcohol research, provided that they make a new and significant contribution to knowledge in the field.
Papers include new results obtained experimentally, descriptions of new experimental (including clinical) methods of importance to the field of alcohol research and treatment, or new interpretations of existing results.
Theoretical contributions are considered equally with papers dealing with experimental work provided that such theoretical contributions are not of a largely speculative or philosophical nature.
