Moderate management is intended for which type of drinkers?

Moderate management is specifically designed for individuals identified as problem drinkers. This group may demonstrate some level of negative consequences related to their drinking habits without meeting the full criteria for alcohol use disorder or alcoholism. Problem drinkers might face issues such as legal problems, health concerns, or interpersonal conflicts as a result of their alcohol use, but they still retain some ability to control their drinking when they choose to do so.

The focus of moderate management involves helping these individuals develop healthier drinking patterns, which can often include strategies for reducing intake or modifying behaviors connected to alcohol. By targeting this group, moderate management aims to prevent the escalation of drinking issues into more severe conditions, thereby addressing their challenges while promoting a more balanced and responsible approach to alcohol consumption.
