Alcoholism, also known as alcohol use disorder (AUD), is a chronic disease that affects individuals from all walks of life, regardless of age, race, social status, or financial background. It's characterized by an inability to control alcohol consumption, leading to physical and mental health problems, as well as harm to personal relationships and professional life. Alcohol is often used as a coping mechanism to mask underlying mental health issues and emotional pain. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) reports that millions of adults struggle with AUD.
While moderate drinking may be harmless for some, it can escalate into addiction for others. Without proper treatment, alcoholism can worsen over time, causing significant damage to both the individual and their loved ones. However, with expert care and attention, recovery and lasting sobriety are achievable, no matter how hopeless the situation may seem.
