Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a substance use disorder, which is characterized by excessive, uncontrollable drinking that affects a person physically, emotionally, and socially. A person with AUD may experience withdrawal symptoms such as sweating, rapid heartbeat, hand tremors, problems sleeping, nausea and vomiting, hallucinations, restlessness and agitation, anxiety, and occasionally seizures.
The risk factors include trauma, bariatric surgery, mental health problems, starting drinking at an early age, steady drinking over time, social and cultural factors, and family history of AUD.

The US FDA approved medication-assisted treatment contains acamprosate calcium (Campral), disulfiram (Antabuse), oral naltrexone (Revia), and extended-release injectable naltrexone (Vivitrol).
