On Hand

An Increase in Alcohol Use Disorder


Listen Later

Since the beginning of the pandemic, we’ve seen an uptick in alcohol related liver disease hospitalizations across the country. In Michigan that number increased by 50% in 2020. We've also seen an increase in younger people needing care. Today, the rising rates of alcohol consumption, the reasons behind it, and what people are doing to make a change.

GUESTS:

  • Austin Johnson, Construction inspector and South Lyon resident
  • Dr. Scott Winder, Clinical Associate Professor for the Department of Psychiatry at Michigan Medicine
  • Dr. Anne Fernandez, Director of Clinical Programming at the University of Michigan Addiction Treatment Services
