alcohol addiction

UF Health Florida Recovery Center and others have been working to break the stigma of addiction and show that recovery is possible. Combating the stigma was a significant purpose of a recent 5K in Gainesville.

The medical examiner reported that the Bucs' star had a blood-alcohol level of 0.28 at the time of his death. Researchers previously said he had stage 2 CTE.

Treatment for alcohol problems isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. The NIH has launched a navigator site that can help figure out the scope of the problem and find evidence-based treatment options.

It is still rare for a person struggling with alcohol abuse to be prescribed naltrexone or acamprosate, two medications that have been proven to help. Efforts are underway to change that.
