Alcohol use disorder or AUD is a chronic medical condition characterized by an inability to control or stop drinking. It ranges from mild to severe and may involve physical dependence, cravings, and a tolerance to alcohol which means you need increasingly more alcohol to get the same effect.
AUD affects brain chemistry, often requiring medical and psychological treatment. Left untreated, it can harm relationships, work and health. Effective interventions can include detox, therapy, and medication. At Boca Recovery Center, recovery is possible with structured support and personalized treatment plans we provide.
According to the National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics, Massachusetts has one of the lowest rates of alcohol related deaths under age 21. However, over 21% of people in Massachusetts over 18 years engage in binge drinking at least once a month, drinking a median of 5.4 drinks per binge. The most active 25% of drinkers binge 3.6 times per month.
The median age of adults reporting alcohol as their primary substance use in 2021 ranged from 32 to 40 years, depending on race. These statistics highlight the need for effective AUD treatment at every age.
