More about us and our approach to treating alcohol use disorder

As a non-profit, we advocate for a compassionate, holistic, evidence-based approach to treating Alcohol Use Disorder as a health condition. This includes supporting the psychological, social and biological components of Alcohol Use Disorder.

As such, this approach can include the prescribing of safe, effective and proven medications, usually for a short period of time, in order to:

  • reduce or extinguish cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

  • give people the choice to stop or simply reduce the amount they drink.

  • complement and provide stability for seeking counselling and other psycho-social supports.

The Canadian AUD Society Approach is based on best evidence and leading practices, and we aim to spread information and emerging evidence to clinicians as it becomes available.
