Describe 2 methods used to treat alcoholism.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary.
The treatment of an AUD typically involves behavioral therapy, along with medication. Behavioral therapy is usually facilitated by a psychologist, social worker, or counselor. Important goals of counseling are to identify triggers for alcohol consumption and ways to compensate for the loss of pleasure from drinking. Total abstinence must be the ultimate objective because, for most alcoholics, there is no such thing as safe and controlled social drinking. Because other mental health disorders often go hand in hand with AUDs, these conditions must be treated as well for successful outcomes.
Three medications are approved in the U.S. to treat AUDs.
