Alcohol use Disorder is a public health problem . In the Indian population. Nearly 15% of the population aged between 10 and 75 years consume alcohol. Converting these to absolute numbers, about 16 crore persons consume alcohol in India. Among the 16 crore alcohol users, about 5.7 crore individuals were found to be problem users (i.e., experiencing some problems with the use of substances), and about 2.9 crore individuals were identified as dependent users. In spite of huge problems, only one in thirty-eight individuals with alcohol dependence ever receiving treatment.
The National Mental Health Survey of India found the treatment gap to be 86.3% for alcohol use disorders. This emphasises the fact that there are a much larger number of individuals with substance use disorders than those who seek treatment.
