ARBD Awareness Scotland

I created this page to raise awareness of Alcohol Related Brain Damage (ARBD). I will post useful links and information relating to ARBD🧠.

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.

If you suspect you may have ARBD, it is important to speak to your GP before cutting out alcohol entirely

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 https://t.co/AbCfnuqG7z

[Rod Anderson @AndersonRJM]

🚨 Many people in the Scottish Borders with an ARBD diagnosis & care package are socially isolated, struggling to engage with recovery & at risk of relapse.

We're proposing a peer buddy system to bridge the gap—but funding is a battle!

Can you help? @CarolMSP #ARBD #PeerSupport

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).
