Only 15% (N=1,831) of individuals with AUD reported seeking alcohol treatment, and 4% (N=469) reported perceiving an unmet need for such treatment. Figure 1 presents the patterns of treatment seeking and perceived unmet need for treatment in adults with AUD according to type of AUD and comorbidity. Compared to individuals with AUD without mood or anxiety comorbidity, those with such comorbidity were both more likely to seek alcohol treatment (18% vs. 12%, odd ratio [OR] = 1.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.40–1.85, p<0.001) and to report unmet need for such treatment (8% vs. 3%, OR = 2.71, 95% CI = 2.12–3.46, p<0.001).
