Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Alcoholism is perhaps the biggest addiction facing us today. In fact, 7 percent of Americans ages 18 and older have an Alcohol Use Disorder. Simply put, more people are addicted to alcohol than any other substance. Many of them don’t think it’s a big deal. “I can quit any time,” they tell themselves (and their families). The trouble is they can’t. With withdrawal symptoms that range from challenging to deadly, alcoholism is something that just shouldn’t be dealt with alone and unsupervised.
An alcoholic’s relationship with alcohol can significantly affect various aspects of their life, including physical health, mental well-being, relationships, and work performance. Here are some key points to consider regarding alcoholism:
Liver Damage: Chronic alcohol consumption can lead to liver diseases such as fatty liver, hepatitis, and cirrhosis.
Cardiovascular Issues: Heavy drinking increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.
Cancer Risk: Alcohol consumption is associated with an increased risk of several types of cancer, including breast, liver, and esophageal cancer.
Nutritional Deficiencies: Alcohol can interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients, leading to deficiencies and related health problems.
Co-occurring Disorders: Many individuals with alcohol use disorder may also experience mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. –
