Alcohol use disorders, recovery, and the risk of alcohol use issues during self-isolation

This week, we talk with Dr. Paul Gilbert about alcohol use disorders, recovery, and the increased risk of alcohol use issues during COVID-19-related isolation. Here are some great resources related to alcohol use disorders: Rethinking Drinking https://www.rethinkingdrinking.niaaa.nih.gov is a great website for folks who are curious about low vs. high-risk drinking, what might constitute a problem, and so on. The Treatment Navigator https://alcoholtreatment.niaaa.nih.gov/ is a relatively new resource for finding services. SAMHSA’s Help Line (800-662-HELP) is a similar service for both substance use and mental health. The Recovery Research Institute has a great webpage called Recovery 101 https://www.recoveryanswers.org/recovery-101/ that explains a lot of the basics of recovery. Have an idea for a show?
