alcoholism
Alcoholism, also called alcohol use disorder, is a common and treatable condition. It involves strong urges to drink and trouble cutting back, even when drinking causes harm.
Common signs include cravings, needing more alcohol to feel the same effect, and missing work or family responsibilities. Some people also face legal or money problems, health issues such as liver damage, and withdrawal symptoms when they stop.
Treatment often combines therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, with individual counseling and peer support groups. Some people also take medication to reduce cravings. The best plan fits the person’s needs and goals.
