What Is Alcohol Addiction?
- Heavy use
- High tolerance for alcohol
- Drinking at inappropriate times and places (at work, in school, or in the morning)
- Avoiding places where there isn’t alcohol available
- Hiding alcohol or drinking
Alcohol abuse and addiction are extremely harmful to patients, both mentally and physically. Without proper intervention and care, it can lead to significant negative health consequences. Unfortunately, most individuals with alcohol use disorder ignore their medical needs until it’s too late. Some common alcohol-related health issues include:
- High blood pressure
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Liver disease
- Dementia
- Depression and anxiety
Also, alcohol use disorder weakens your immune system. This causes your body to be more susceptible to disease. Long-time drinkers, as well as binge-drinkers, are more likely to develop pneumonia and be unable to ward off infections successfully.
This is why rehab is so important. A rehab facility treats both mental and clinical issues with addiction, including painful withdrawals, mental disorders, and addictive behaviors.

Often the first step for patients is to detox safely. Withdrawal symptoms can be intense and, if detox is done without supervision, can lead to severe health issues. As withdrawal happens over 48 hours, individuals will display some of the following symptoms at different stages:
- At six to 12 hours: agitation, anxiety, headaches, shaking, nausea, and possibly vomiting
- 12 to 24 hours: hand tremors and seizures
- At 48 hours: insomnia, high blood pressure, hallucinations, fever, and sweats

When patients have successfully detoxed, they can be examined for any mental health issues. Often, individuals will abuse alcohol and other substances because they are experiencing another issue. Thus, alcohol becomes a way to cope with the issue, a kind of self-medicating. Most patients aren’t aware they have the underlying issue. However, when it is identified, it needs to be treated simultaneously with the patient’s alcohol use disorder. This can be a very complicated process and can take time. Fortunately, our experts have experience dealing with mental health issues like depression, anxiety disorder, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), eating disorders, and others.
Finally, in programs like cognitive behavioral therapy, patients address their addictive behaviors. For example, common addictive behaviors include obsession, compulsive activity, and denial. Therapeutic treatment individually, in groups, and through family therapy allows patients to work through their issues as well as develop the skills and techniques they need to overcome addiction and abusive behavior.
