What Is Alcohol Use Disorder?
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a common condition that affects an estimated 15 million people in the United States. It’s defined as the physical inability to stop drinking alcohol despite adverse consequences. It can be caused by a wide variety of environmental and biological factors and often accompanies a mental health condition, such as anxiety or depression.
AUD is considered a chronic relapsing brain disorder and can vary from mild to severe. Suffering from AUD can cause health problems, which can worsen over time. It can also have adverse effects on the sufferer’s friends, family, and occupation.
Signs And Symptoms Of Alcoholism
Alcoholism affects everyone differently, but there are a few common symptoms that many will tend to experience when suffering from an alcohol addiction, including:
- An inability to limit alcohol consumption
- Failing to fulfil obligations at home, school, or work due to the effects of alcohol
- Using alcohol in unsafe situations, such as when driving
- Experiencing a craving for alcohol
- Developing alcohol tolerance, where more alcohol is needed to feel an effect
- Having withdrawal symptoms, like nausea, trouble sleeping, anxiety, depression, or shakiness, when not drinking
- Avoiding activities or hobbies that used to be enjoyed

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a highly effective option for individuals struggling with alcohol use disorder.
It significantly reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings, preventing relapse and supporting sustained recovery. MAT also stabilizes brain chemistry, lowering the risk of overdose and blocking the euphoric effects of alcohol.
Additionally, it improves patient retention in treatment programs, enhances social functioning, and increases the likelihood of gaining and maintaining employment. By addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction, MAT provides a comprehensive path to recovery and long-term sobriety.

Why Choose Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery
At CMAR, we understand that long-lasting recovery demands much more than a prescription. Recovery is a challenging personal journey of incremental change, and medication is only one element of treatment.
We know that many people suffering from substance use disorder may also have co-occurring other mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety. We look at the family, social supports, and prior history of trauma and develop individual treatment plans accordingly. We believe treating mental health alongside addiction is an indispensable part of our opioid addiction treatment programs and alcohol addiction treatment programs.
We help our patients identify the causes of anger, fear, sadness, and loneliness and provide tools to cope effectively so they don’t cause a relapse.
