\"Alcohol<\/p>\n

To avoid experiencing withdrawal symptoms, the person has to keep consuming alcohol. Your doctor or healthcare provider can diagnose alcohol use disorder. They\u2019ll do a physical exam and ask you questions about your drinking habits. If you think you need help with alcohol use, talk to your doctor.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

However, about 18 million adult Americans have an alcohol use disorder (AUD). Severe AUD is sometimes called alcoholism or alcohol dependence. In this disorder, people can\u2019t stop drinking, even when drinking affects their health, puts their safety at risk and damages their personal relationships.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Others use alcohol to cope with psychological issues or stress in their daily lives. You’re likely to start by seeing your primary health care provider. If your provider suspects that you have a problem with alcohol, you may be referred to a mental health provider.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
