The severity of alcohol dependence was assessed using the Severity of Alcohol Dependence Questionnaire (SADQ), serum biochemical markers, and liver stiffness measured by transient elastography within 96 hours of admission and again after four weeks of enforced abstinence. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences, with descriptive statistics applied to socio-demographic and clinical data. Paired t-tests compared biochemical markers, and Spearman rank correlation analyzed the relationship between SADQ scores and liver stiffness at admission and after abstinence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Initial SADQ scores indicated moderate alcohol dependence in 55% of participants. According to Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, 38% had a medium-to-severe risk of harmful alcohol consumption. Liver fibrosis assessment showed that 63.8% had no or mild fibrosis on day 1, increasing to 81.0% by day 28. Moderate to advanced fibrosis (measured above 7.5 kilopascal) decreased from 8.6%, 12.1%, and 15.5% on day 1 to 3.4%, 5.2%, and 10.3% on day 28, respectively.
