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.
