The High-Risk Drinking and Alcohol Use Disorder guideline is available for External Review until January 12, 2023.

This guideline is an adaptation of the British Columbia Centre on Substance Use’s (BCCSU) Provincial Guideline for the Clinical Management of High-Risk Drinking and Alcohol Use Disorder (2019). It aims to outline the identification and clinical management of high-risk drinking and alcohol use disorder in adults (individuals aged 25 years and older) and youth (individuals aged 11-24 years). The guideline was drafted by a working group of BC practitioners, including family physicians, addiction medicine physicians, as well as people with lived/living experience.

Please visit the BC Guidelines External Review page to download the draft guideline and submit your feedback via our online questionnaire.

Where those of us in the room may have debated policy or wording, patient voices made sure patients were top of mind. And as a result, significant improvements were made to simplify something that was otherwise complex. Patient voices at the table bring us back to reality in terms of what we are trying to achieve.
