TY - JOUR AU - A. H. Lékó AU - L. Leggio A1 - AB - The cornerstone in managing alcohol-associated liver disease is the treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD). Several barriers prevent the implementation of adequate treatment and integrated care models. There are patient-level barriers, including the lack of self-awareness of AUD and being ashamed of AUD. There are clinician-level barriers, including lack of training and discomfort in managing patients with AUD. There are system-level barriers, including challenges related to insurance-based health care systems, and the general reluctance to invest in AUD by organizations focused on for-profit milestones. Therefore, it is imperative to develop multidisciplinary hepatology/addiction integrated care approaches.
