This escalation accelerates the development of a substance use disorder or polysubstance use disorder, where alcohol and\/or Ambien become a need for the brain to feel normal.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Chronic health complications include damage to the liver and kidneys, as these organs are responsible for metabolizing both substances.
