UNDERSTANDING ALCOHOL USE DISORDER
What is Alcohol Use Disorder?
Alcohol dependence relies on multiple factors. These risk factors can be environmental, family-related, and behavioral. While these elements do not guarantee that use will lead to addiction, it is important to understand the signs of alcoholism, the risk factors, how they may lead to addiction, and the withdrawal symptoms involved.
There are several signs to look for if you believe you or a loved one has an alcohol use disorder — including excessive drinking, intense cravings, drinking in private, ignoring responsibilities, drinking first thing in the morning, and binge drinking.
