Scope and Content: The Advisory Council on Alcoholism was established in 1956 (first meeting in 1957) in connection with the office of the commissioner on alcoholism (until 1959) and the Division of Alcoholism in the Dept. of Public Health.  In 1982 it merged with the Dept. of Public Health’s Division of Drug Rehabilitation, accompanied by its Drug Rehabilitation Advisory Board.  With the merger of the two divisions in 1986 (known since 1991 as the Bureau of Substance Abuse Services), the two advisory bodies began to meet jointly, and since 1990 have been known informally as the Governor’s Advisory Council on Alcoholism and Drug Rehabilitation, and, since 1995, as the Governor’s Advisory Council on Substance Abuse Services.
