What Is Alcohol Addiction?

Alcohol addiction occurs when an individual feels compelled to drink alcohol regardless of the consequences to their physical and mental health. An alcohol dependence typically refers to the physical dependence acquired from excessively drinking alcohol, but many people also experience mental and behavioral dependencies. Although anyone can become addicted to alcohol, there are some risk factors associated with alcohol use disorder, including:

  • Genetics
  • Binge drinking
  • Suffering a traumatic event
  • Family history of substance abuse
  • Drinking alcohol at a young age
  • Suffering from a mental health disorder, such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia or personality disorders

Not every person who engages in unhealthy alcohol use will become addicted, but abusing alcohol long-term can increase your risk of addiction. It can also be difficult to stop drinking alcohol because of withdrawal symptoms that can occur when trying to quit. 

Signs & Symptoms

There are several signs and symptoms of alcohol use disorder that can affect individuals physically, psychologically and socially.

Physical symptoms include:

  • Spending excessive time drinking or thinking about drinking
  • Needing to consume more alcohol to achieve the same effect
  • Engaging in risky behaviors under the influence of alcohol, such as drinking and driving
  • Experiencing weight or diet changes
  • Consistently drinking to the point of intoxication

Psychological symptoms include:

  • Rapid mood changes
  • Increased irritability or anger
  • Concentration and memory problems
  • Delusional thoughts or hallucinations
  • Anxiety or depression

Social symptoms include:

  • Spending more time with people who drink alcohol
  • Lying about your alcohol consumption
  • Experiencing conflicts with friends, family members or colleagues
  • Isolating from friends or family
  • Failing to maintain responsibilities

Alcohol abuse can also cause several long-term health effects, such as certain types of cancer, fatty liver disease, high blood pressure, hepatitis, cirrhosis or stroke. 

How it Works

How it Works

Before entering professional treatment, an evaluation is conducted to determine the severity of your alcohol use disorder and which treatment option best aligns with your needs. You’ll then receive an individualized treatment plan outlining the treatment process.

We offer various therapies and support groups to help individuals process their substance abuse issues and any co-occurring mental disorders. Depending on your treatment plan, you may meet with a mental health professional for a combination of individual talk therapy, group therapy and family therapy to understand how alcohol affects you and learn healthier coping skills for relieving stress or other negative emotions. 

Once you’ve successfully completed your primary treatment program, Resurgence offers aftercare to help you integrate back into your regular schedule. You can also choose to enroll in a less intensive program. For example, some people who complete residential treatment move on to outpatient treatment for additional help. 

Treatment Options

Medical detox helps those with a physical dependence rid their body of alcohol in a safe, clinically supervised environment. If you’ve been using alcohol for a long time, detox can help reduce cravings or withdrawal symptoms. This is generally the first step of treatment before enrolling in a substance abuse program.

During residential treatment, you live at a treatment center full-time and have access to 24-hour medical supervision. This type of treatment offers a highly structured schedule where individuals attend therapy and support groups throughout the day to process their substance abuse and mental health issues. Residential treatment is the most intensive level of care.

A PHP, or outpatient day program, is less intensive. You have access to the same therapies as residential treatment but only attend treatment for a few hours per day, 5 to 7 days per week. This lets you get needed treatment in a structured environment while maintaining some independence.

An outpatient treatment program is the most flexible option for those wishing to continue attending work, school or other obligations. You have access to therapy sessions a few times per week to sustain recovery and prevent relapse. Outpatient rehab is ideal for individuals who have their alcohol use disorder mostly under control and no longer experience cravings or withdrawal symptoms.
