| Summary: |
"Based on 50 years of research, the alcohol field has shifted from a monolithic abstinence-oriented view of alcohol problems, treatment approaches, and recovery pathways to a pluralistic view that recognizes the heterogeneous, multi-dimensional nature of these central features of alcohol use disorder (AUD). Positive change is a dynamic process that occurs over time and ranges from reduced alcohol use and associated problems to abstinence and improved functioning and wellbeing. Although extant recovery definitions vary with respect to the emphasis placed on abstinence, consensus has emerged that successful recovery is broader than beneficial reductions in drinking practices and entails improvements in health, functioning, and well-being. Most individuals who develop an AUD or have sub-clinical problems eventually reduce their risky drinking practices and experience AUD symptom reduction, and some will further achieve and maintain "recovery" broadly defined as encompassing improved health, wellbeing, and life circumstances"-- |
