Treatment for a Serious Problem
Alcohol addiction is a serious problem that can negatively affect physical, emotional, and mental health, relationships, and employment. However, treatment options are available to help support alcohol addiction recovery.
Jackson House Recovery Centers offers an alcohol addiction rehab program framed to provide both short- and long-term benefits with attention to long-term recovery.
Common Symptoms of Alcohol Addiction
There are numerous ways to recognize alcohol addiction. Common symptoms include:
- A continuation of drinking, even though doing so is negatively affecting life
- Withdrawal symptoms after a quick stop or decrease in drinking
- Failure to meet obligations
- Anxiousness or stress when alcohol is not accessible
- Not being able to limit the intake of alcohol
- Powerful cravings and urges to drink alcohol
Alcohol addiction can also involve feelings that life is out of control, financial problems connected to the addiction, isolation from people, and a feeling of persistent numbness.
Alcoholism Stages
Often, alcoholism develops over time and through stages.
Stage 1: Pre-alcoholism
This stage is identified by drinking intended to help one feel better. Alcohol may be used to push down unwanted emotions, in response to stress, or to combat pain.
Stage 2: Early alcoholism
In this stage, alcohol use becomes more frequent, with results that may include lying about the frequency of alcohol consumption and frequently thinking about drinking alcohol. A serious indicator of early alcoholism is blacking out from alcohol consumption.
Stage 3: Middle alcoholism
Symptoms such as forgetfulness, irritability, and physical effects of alcohol use are aspects of middle alcoholism. Other effects may include redness of the face, increased weight, and bloating.
Stage 4: Late alcoholism
Tremors and hallucinations may result if an individual in this stage tries to quit drinking. In late alcoholism, drinking is present and consuming.
Development of Alcohol Addiction
Multiple factors impact the development of alcohol addiction, and often a combination of factors is involved.
Drinking at an early age can be a serious factor in the development of alcohol addiction. A first drink can spiral into binge drinking and heavy drinking.
Individuals’ surroundings can influence alcohol consumption. Stressful workplaces, easy access to alcoholic drinks, peer pressure, and socioeconomic factors are all environmental conditions tied to alcohol addiction.
According to the National Institute on Alcohol (NIH), “Genes make up about half of a person’s risk for developing alcohol use disorder (AUD).”
One factor in the development of alcohol addiction is the media’s glamorization of alcohol. In the media, excessive drinking may be portrayed as normal. And, media portrayals may not show the negative effects of alcohol consumption.
The times between binge drinking episodes may become shorter as individuals feel more dependent on alcohol.
Consistent and/or prolonged drinking periods
Drinking that becomes more consistent and/or prolonged can lead to lasting problems, with issues of alcohol use becoming increasingly severe.
Spending time with those who consume alcohol can be a factor in the development of alcohol addiction.
