Alcohol is one of the most commonly-abused addictive substances in the United States and has been for decades. Because of this “normalization” of alcohol, it can be very difficult for a person to identify and admit when they have a drinking problem. Our approach is designed to reach the core of alcohol addiction, providing support, understanding and practical tools to transform lives.

Signs of Alcohol Addiction

Identifying alcohol addictions can be difficult because excessive drinking is so commonplace. It can be hard to pinpoint both when a person drinks more than the average person and when a person actually has a problem.

A person may have a legitimate issue with alcohol if, in addition to drinking excessively, the person chooses to drink over engaging in other activities, often drinks on their own or suffers from significant medical or financial problems due to their drinking.

Some other signs of alcohol addiction may include:

Long-Term Effects of Alcohol Addiction

Excessively drinking alcohol can cause significant damage to the internal organs and body systems. Drinking in general is not healthy, and the behavior only causes more issues if done in excess and over a long period of time. Drinking excessively can damage the brain as well. A person who drinks a lot can experience memory loss, confusion, cognitive limitations, impaired decision making skills, anxiety, depression and other mental issues.
