Who is at risk for alcohol addiction?

Alcohol addiction is one of the two types of addiction we treat most often (along with opioid addiction). Several factors can increase your risk for alcohol addiction, including:

Drinking heavily or binge drinking on a regular basis
Having a parent or other close family member with alcohol addiction
Having depression, anxiety, or another mental health condition
Starting to drink, especially binge drinking, at an early age

Alcohol-use disorder can affect anyone. Patients with alcohol addiction may use more than one type of drug, a condition known as polysubstance-use disorder, but use alcohol as their preferred substance.
