Alcohol Dependence Scale (ADS)

The Alcohol Dependence Scale (ADS) is a questionnaire used by healthcare professionals to assess the severity of a person's alcohol dependence. It measures how much alcohol use affects their life, including cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and loss of control over drinking. The ADS helps identify the level of dependence, guiding treatment decisions and monitoring progress. It provides a structured way to understand the extent of alcohol-related issues, enabling tailored support for recovery.
