Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)
Approximately 95,000 people each year, or 261 each day, die from excessive alcohol use in America, according to CDC reports.
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.
