About Alcohol Use Disorder in Mumbai
Alcohol Use Disorder is a chronic medical condition characterized by an impaired ability to stop or control alcohol use despite significant social, occupational, or health consequences. It exists on a spectrum from mild to severe, and involves changes in brain function that create a compulsive drive to drink and can lead to physical dependence. Long-term heavy drinking can damage nearly every organ system, including the liver, heart, and brain, and significantly increases the risk of accidents, mental health disorders, and certain cancers. Withdrawal from alcohol after prolonged heavy use can be medically dangerous and requires careful management.
