So yeah, I think there's a lot of approaches like that right, like cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, that, although they're targeting symptoms of insomnia or sleep problems, actually might also impact hazardous use or risky use and might reduce someone's use overall.
What exactly is Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), and why is it so crucial in identifying and treating alcohol-related problems? In this thought-provoking episode of 'The Alcohol Problem Podcast', Dr. James Morris sits down with Dr. Cassie Boness, a Research Assistant Professor at the University of New Mexico's Center on Alcohol, Substance Use, and Addictions (CASA).
Together, they unpack the complexities surrounding AUD, a term used by both the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM and the UK’s National Institute for Health & Care Excellence (NICE) to diagnose and manage alcohol issues. Dr. Boness brings her extensive research and clinical experience to the table, diving into the challenges of current AUD conceptualizations and the necessity for a more nuanced framework.
The discussion covers her work on developing the Etiologic, Theory-Based, Ontogenetic Hierarchical Framework of Alcohol Use Disorder, which aims to better identify and understand the intricate nature of alcohol misuse. Listeners will find themselves questioning traditional approaches to diagnosing AUD as Dr. Boness and Dr. Morris advocate for a continuum-aligned model and trans-diagnostic methods. They explore how holistic thinking can transform treatment strategies, offering a more comprehensive way to tackle alcohol problems.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with alcohol misuse or supporting someone who is. It's not just about identifying the problem but understanding it deeply and exploring innovative solutions. Tune in to gain valuable insights that could reshape your perspective on AUD and its treatment.
