Alcohol is pervasive in society, from sporting events to birthday parties and funerals. But, at what point does alcohol use begin to look like a problem?
This April, for Alcohol Awareness Month, we delve into how alcohol use is habitualized and what one can do to get help, should they want it. Dr. Jenny Hua (Medical Director for Behavioral Health and Interim Deputy Commissioner at CDPH) speaks with Dr. Nicole Gastala (Medical Director for the Division of Substance Use Prevention Recovery at the Illinois Department of Human Services) about addressing stigma, and how public health is supporting individuals to treat alcohol use disorder with reliable medications and mental health care.
If you or your loved ones are struggling with alcohol use, help is available 24-7 at HelplineIL.org or call 833-234-6343 or text “HELP” to 833234.
