Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is one of the most prevalent substance use disorders worldwide and is a significant public health concern. AUD is a chronic but treatable medical condition characterized by an impaired ability to stop or control alcohol use despite negative consequences to a person’s health, relationships, employment, or daily functioning. AUD can range from mild to severe and often requires a combination of medical, psychological, and social supports to achieve and maintain recovery. [1,2]
The harmful use of alcohol contributes substantially to illness, injury, disability, and premature death worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that alcohol consumption contributes to approximately 2.6 million deaths globally each year and is associated with a wide range of physical, mental, and social harms. [3,4]
Our Alcohol Use Disorder Program provides evidence-based, person-centered care for individuals seeking support with their alcohol use. We recognize that every person’s journey is unique, and our approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, and tailored to individual goals.
Research shows that effective treatment for AUD may include behavioural therapies, mutual-support programs, and medications such as naltrexone, acamprosate, and disulfiram when clinically appropriate. Combining medical and psychosocial supports can improve treatment outcomes and support long-term recovery. [1,5,6]

Medication options are discussed with each client to determine the safest and most effective treatment approach based on their goals, medical history, and individual needs.
