Resumen:
This study aimed to identify Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) criteria that better characterized those who seek treatment and those who recover on their own. We gathered data from help-seeking (HS) patients in an alcohol unit and compared them with self-achieved remission (SAR) patients. Best criteria to predict HS were: psychological problems due to use, physical problems due to use, repeated attempts or desire to stop using, and not being able to stop drinking. Best criteria to predict SAR were: tolerance, craving, hazardous use, much time spent, larger/longer use than intended, and role impairment. We discuss the impact of this results in current efforts to improve the accuracy of AUD diagnostic.
