Frequently Asked Questions
Alcohol use disorder is a medical condition, not a moral failing, where someone is unable to control their drinking despite the harm it causes. It affects nearly one in five Canadians at some point in their lifetime, yet it remains one of the most undertreated conditions in the Canadian health system. Effective treatment exists and includes medications like naltrexone that reduce the urge to drink, evidence-based counselling, and residential treatment for more severe presentations. The first step is a conversation with a health professional such as a family doctor, RAAM clinic, or addiction counsellor.
The most serious warning signs are seizures, severe confusion or disorientation, hallucinations, particularly seeing or feeling things that aren't there, a very rapid heart rate, and high fever. These are signs of delirium tremens, which can be fatal without treatment. Critically, these complications tend to develop two to three days after the last drink, not immediately, meaning someone can feel like they're managing fine and then deteriorate rapidly. If any of these symptoms appear, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department immediately.
No, and waiting for rock bottom is one of the most clinically counterproductive things someone can do. Alcohol use disorder is a progressive condition, and earlier treatment consistently produces better outcomes than late intervention. Brief advice from a family doctor, medications to help with withdrawal, and outpatient counselling are all effective at earlier stages. You don't need to have lost your job, your relationships, or your health before any of these are appropriate. The 2023 Canadian clinical guideline was explicit on this point: the gap between effective treatment and what Canadians are actually receiving needs to close.
The most important first step is talking to someone such as a family doctor, a RAAM clinic, or an addiction counsellor. You don't need to have made a firm decision, be fully committed to abstinence, or have everything figured out before you reach out. In fact, ambivalence about stopping is completely normal and is the expected clinical starting point, not a reason to wait. A clinician can assess whether stopping suddenly is safe for you, discuss medications to help with withdrawal symptoms, and help you build a concrete plan.
