Both chronic pain and alcohol use disorders (AUDs) are public health problems, affecting millions each year. Given the cyclical nature of alcohol as an analgesic and alcohol withdrawal pain as a symptom of AUD, it is likely that these two experiences are related, yet the nature of their relation is not well understood. Pain may occur during detoxification from alcohol, and persistent pain may increase the odds of substance use lapses. People experiencing pain often use alcohol to reduce it, which may be due to analgesic effects of alcohol. This chapter highlights the prevalence and clinical characteristics of chronic pain and alcohol use, followed by an overview of underlying neural mechanisms associated with each. Beneficial behavioral and pharmacological interventions are addressed, and future directions are discussed. It is important to understand how pain and alcohol interact and to address interventions aimed at reducing one, which may also subsequently affect the other.
