Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol is addictive. Frequently combined with other drugs, alcohol remains the number one drug of choice for all age groups.
Individuals with alcohol use disorders feel they need a drink to function normally. Professional goals, personal relationships, and physical health are progressively affected by the effects of misusing alcohol. The Hanley Center at Origins team understands this progressive, often fatal, disease and are fully prepared to treat those suffering from alcohol addiction.
TYPES OF ADDICTIONS
Risk Factors for Alcoholism
Genetic predisposition and environmental factors play roles in alcohol misuse, as do co-occurring mental health diagnoses. All these factors must be considered when setting up a comprehensive, evidence-based treatment plan.
Common Signs of Alcohol Addiction
Early stages of alcohol addiction have an increased chance of successful recovery if treatment is sought out. Unfortunately, most people take great care to hide their drinking habits, so recognizing the symptoms of an alcohol use disorder can be challenging. The signs of chronic, prolonged disease are often more severe and recognizable.
Signs include:
- Unable to control consumption levels
- Increased spending on alcohol
- Drinking despite consequences
- Inability to stop despite wanting to
- Unable to maintain long-term sobriety
- Focused on successful drinking
- Personal relationships suffer
- Increased amounts needed
- Violent actions after drinking
