Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)

Approximately 140,000 people each year, or 380 each day, die from excessive alcohol use in America, according to CDC reports, and is a leading cause of preventable death.

Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), commonly referred to as alcoholism or alcohol addiction, is a chronic disease that can be effectively treated with evidence-based modalities with behavioral therapies and ongoing support. Although alcohol is legal for adults, there are risks depending upon age, gender, genetics, mental health conditions, and one's drinking patterns.
