Abstract

Alcohol use and alcohol use disorder (AUD) is related to numerous somatic and psychiatric disorders resulting in a high contribution to global burden of disease and premature death. The need to identify and treat alcohol use disorder is high. Yet there is a large treatment gap. Too few people with AUD are recognized and are being offered treatment. In some countries well under 10 percent of those with a treatable AUD are ever offered treatment. Furthermore, there is a dearth of effective treatments and relapse rates remain high. This symposium will address some topics that may change this situation.
