Screening and Assessment for Alcohol Use Disorders

Screening and assessment for alcohol use disorders involve processes to identify individuals who may be struggling with alcohol-related issues. Screening typically consists of questionnaires or brief interviews to evaluate drinking habits and associated problems. If a problem is suspected, a more detailed assessment delves deeper into the individual's history, behavior, and the impact of alcohol on their life. The goal is to determine the severity of alcohol use and to guide appropriate treatment options, ensuring individuals receive the support they need for recovery and healthier living.
