Alcoholism

Alcoholism, clinically referred to as Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), is a treatable medical condition involving a pattern of alcohol use that becomes difficult to control despite negative consequences. It can affect mood, sleep, relationships, work performance, and physical health. Some people notice escalating tolerance, drinking more than intended, withdrawal symptoms when not drinking, or repeated attempts to cut back without success.

This category covers evidence-informed education on alcohol misuse and Alcohol Use Disorder, including warning signs, health risks, withdrawal and safety considerations, relapse risk factors, and treatment approaches. Many individuals struggling with alcohol also experience anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, or other mental health concerns. A comprehensive assessment helps clarify what is driving the pattern and what level of care is most appropriate.
