Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a medical condition that makes it difficult for a person to control or stop drinking, even when it leads to problems with health, safety, relationships, or responsibilities at work, home, or school.
Millions of individuals and families are affected by AUD, and it can bring serious challenges into daily life. Learning about what AUD is and how it impacts people is an important first step toward prevention, treatment, and recovery.
