Clinical information about alcohol use disorder:

Alcohol Use Disorder, often known as alcoholism, is a disorder characterized by frequent and/or heavy alcohol consumption. This excessive drinking negatively impacts various aspects of a person's life, such as relationships, work, home life, daily activities, and overall well-being. Additionally, individuals under the influence of alcohol may become a danger to others due to heightened aggression and irresponsible decision-making, including driving while impaired.

If left unaddressed, Alcohol Use Disorder can lead to severe consequences, including accidents, homicide, suicide, assaults, injuries, depression, and the development of liver, colon, and mouth cancer. Furthermore, long-term untreated alcoholism can even result in brain damage.

Commonly asked questions

Are there any unbillable alcohol use disorder ICD codes?

Yes, but we don’t recommend using those since they are also likely to be invalid.

What factors contribute to a person developing alcohol abuse disorder?

It can develop from a combination of factors, including biological, social, familial, psychological, and environmental influences. Some genetic components associated with AAD may increase the risk of developing this condition. Additionally, living in an environment where alcohol consumption is normalized or encouraged can influence the development of AAD.

How is alcohol abuse disorder treated?

It depends on the person and how severe their disorder is. Some treatments will work well for others, while some won’t. Treatments can be medication (like topiramate and gabapentin), behavioral therapies, counseling, andsupport groups.
