Addiction is a chronic, relapsing disorder involving compulsive substance use or behaviors despite harm. Modern care combines medication, psychotherapy, and social support; recovery often requires long-term strategies.
Alcohol use disorder is treatable with a combination of medications, behavioral therapies, medical detox when needed, and peer support. Treatment should be tailored to severity, health status, and personal goals.
