This guideline on the treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD) was developed by the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute (NYSDOH AI) to guide primary care providers and other practitioners in New York State in treating individuals with AUD.

This guideline aims to:

  • Increase the number of New York State residents with AUD who are engaged in treatment.
  • Reduce the number of alcohol-related deaths in New York State.
  • Promote a harm reduction approach to treatment of AUD, which involves practical strategies and ideas aimed at reducing the negative consequences associated with alcohol use.
