For some, a single drink does not satisfy their needs. As time passes, one or two drinks progresses into an alcohol use disorder. Alcohol use disorder includes alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse and ranges from mild to severe in acuity. Getting the necessary, correct treatment for an alcohol use disorder requires an understanding of the differences between alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency and how the body responds during the detoxification process.
