What are the risk factors for alcohol use disorder? Are they genetic, social, environmental or psychological?

Alcohol is the most widely misused substance in America and, according to the National Center For Drug Abuse Statistics, 1-in-10 Americans over the age of 12 qualify as having a mild, moderate or severe Alcohol Use Disorder.

So how do you get to your first year alcohol-free?

I asked Dr. Nzinga Harrison to share both the risk factors for alcohol use disorder and strategies to help people become part of the 75% of people who do recover. 

Dr. Harrison is a physician with specialties in addiction medicine and psychiatry, the Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of Eleanor Health and co-founder of Physicians for Criminal Justice Reform. She’s spent her career focusing on stigma reduction and health equity and is an advocate for leading with empathy in addiction treatment and reframing the way we view and address addiction and the people who are dealing with substance use disorders.
