Recognizing Alcohol Use Disorder: Warning Signs and Paths to Recovery

Prevention, early recognition, and seeking help are key when it comes to alcohol use disorders. It's not deterministic in any way, and virtual care options are making treatment more accessible than ever before.
Ever caught yourself wondering if your drinking habits are becoming a problem? You're not alone. Despite the headlines focusing on opioids and fentanyl, alcohol remains the most commonly used and abused substance in the country, a situation worsened by the pandemic. In this episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery', host William C. Moyers sits down with experts Quyen Ngo, PhD, and Stephen Delisi, MD, to unpack the complexities of alcohol use disorder (AUD).
They discuss the telltale signs and risk factors that might indicate a problem, such as binge drinking and blackout episodes. They also explore how psychosocial factors and our environment can influence drinking habits. Importantly, they highlight that recognizing these signs early and seeking help can make a world of difference. With virtual care options becoming more accessible, there are now more ways than ever to get the support you need.
Whether you're personally struggling or concerned about a loved one, this episode offers valuable insights and practical solutions for navigating the challenges of AUD.
