The Alcohol Dependence Data System (ADDS)

The Alcohol Dependence Data System (ADDS) is a structured tool used by healthcare professionals to assess and record information about individuals with alcohol dependence. It collects detailed data on drinking habits, severity of dependence, related health issues, and treatment history. ADDS helps clinicians understand a person's alcohol use patterns, identify risks, and plan effective treatment strategies. By providing consistent and comprehensive information, it supports improved diagnosis, monitoring, and research related to alcohol dependence.
