Abstract

Alcohol use disorder is a chronic disease, and the consumption of alcohol after treatment is an integral part of the disease process. However, drinking alcohol itself is not a disorder; persistent problematic drinking is. This paper assesses the stability of the yearly drinking patterns of individuals with alcohol use disorder after discharge from psychiatric hospitalization for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD).
