There is a disproportionately high number of people with Alcohol Use Disorder in prison. If more action was taken to address this earlier in the justice system journey fewer people would end up in prison. bit.ly/4nv9n8O

Very few areas in Wales have a clear funding pathway for people with ARBD to access rehab. This results in those who could be helped to live independently living in long term residential care ⁦@ArbdAwareness⁩ ⁦@USW_Addictions⁩ #arbd #alcohol bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3e5…

If a person regularly drinks more than the recommended limit of alcohol, it can damage their brain and cause their memory and ability to think clearly to get worse over time. This is known as alcohol-related brain damage (ARBD). alcoholchange.org.uk/alcohol…
