About Alcohol Abuse
  • Addiction has the power to tear and erode at a
    persons quality of life once it gets out of
    control. All substances taken in excess directly
    activate an individuals internal reward system,
    which is responsible for reinforcing behaviors
    and the production of memories. When the reward
    system is abused by a shortcut made possible by a
    drug or other stimulus, this initially intense
    activation may eventually lead to maladaptive
    behavioral and physical symptoms, such as
    withdrawal, tolerance and craving. In addition,
    healthy and routine activities may be neglected
    or negatively impacted.

Signs and Symptoms
  • Craving
  • Withdrawal
  • Craving a is strong, obsessive desire to drink.
    This type of thinking tends to obstruct all other
    channels of an individuals mental processes and
    is sought to be resolved by the onset of
    consumption. Depending on the persons coping
    strategies and their effectiveness, the cravings
    can become more frequent and begin to trickle
    into a persons daily life and routine
    activities. He or she may continue to consume
    alcohol despite knowing that continued substance
    use will cause significant physical,
    psychological or interpersonal problems.
  • Alcohol withdrawal is identified by symptoms that
    develop after the cessation of drinking in cases
    of prolonged and heavy consumption, in most cases
    overnight or after 4 to 12 hours. Specific
    symptoms can range from hand tremors to momentary
    hallucinations and illusions. Unfortunately, this
    may also drive people to continue ingesting
    alcohol in order to avoid the side effects
    intense and unpleasant nature. In addition, the
    same explanation can largely contribute to
    relapse. When coupled with cravings, a
    destructive cycle of repetitive and excessive
    alcohol consumption can develop and rewire ones
    entire lifestyle.

Alcohol Abuse Treatment
  • Step 1 Detox
  • Step 2 Dual Diagnosis
  • The first step is always detoxification.
    Preliminary medical actions and measures taken at
    an addiction treatment center or a detox facility
    under supervision are necessary to avoid
    complications and provide quality support for
    those in need.
  • An individual diagnosed with an addiction to
    alcohol also has a higher risk of overlooking an
    associated issue. Relapse and a multitude of
    other hurdles on the journey to recovery may
    occur if both issues are not treated
    simultaneously.

Alcohol Abuse Treatment
  • Step 3 Rehabilitation
  • Step 4 Continuing Recovery
  • Once detox is complete, rehabilitative therapy
    and treatment can alleviate both the problem at
    hand and any substance-related disorders. In
    general, rehabilitation trains people in need to
    better counter to their different stressors and
    struggles.
  • Maintaining a consistent state of sobriety should
    be defined as an ongoing way of life rather than
    a temporary stint during rehab while being
    treated with medicine, therapy or other clinical
    remedies. It is a long-term process and there are
    effective, continual routines to help someone
    stay clean post rehab.
