Alcohol abuse

Alcohol abuse and dependence present widespread challenges. Treatments can include individual or group therapy, outpatient programs, or residential inpatient stays, where methods like cognitive behavioral therapy are commonly employed to help patients alter their behaviors. Although there are medications available, they are primarily aimed at those who have ceased drinking and are striving to remain abstinent. A substantial gap persists in aiding individuals to regulate their drinking habits.
