At Soul Detox and Recovery we provide every person who comes to our facility for help with an alcohol addiction with the tools and resources they need to not only beat their addiction, but to continue to live a sober, healthy life long after leaving a rehabilitation.

Recognizing When Someone May be Suffering from an Alcohol Addiction

It is not uncommon for an alcohol addiction to go unnoticed by friends, family, coworkers, or even the individual who is suffering from the addiction. The secretive nature surrounding addictions combined with the way alcoholism slowly progresses makes it difficult to identify when casual drinking has turned into an alcohol addiction. If you suspect that you – or someone you love – may be suffering from an alcohol addiction, there are a few signs and symptoms that can help you determine if an addiction has developed.

The signs and symptoms of alcohol addiction include:

  • Feeling the need that you have to drink more and more in order to get a “buzz”
  • Drinking to the point in which you blackout or can’t remember things the next day
  • Putting the need to drink before everything else in life – work, family, friends, and other responsibilities
  • Developing an inability to function without alcohol consumption
  • Making excuses or trying to hide how much alcohol you consume
  • Experiencing signs of an untreated mental illness – alcohol addiction commonly occurs in individuals who suffer from anxiety, depression, and other mental illnesses that are not being properly treated

Understanding the signs and symptoms that indicate when an addiction has formed can help you know when it is time to seek help. By admitting and accepting there is a problem with alcohol, you can then reach out for help and start the recovery process.

Seeking Treatment for Alcohol Addiction Leads to Recovery

At first an alcohol addiction may not seem serious or as if it is affecting your life, but if left untreated it will start to cause problems in every aspect of your life. The longer your alcohol addiction remains untreated the more problems you will experience.
The problems you will experience can include one or more of the following: difficulty with your job, inability to form healthy relationships with friends/family, and serious health issues that can include impaired cognitive function, cardiovascular problems, liver problems, and the development of autoimmune diseases. The only way to avoid experiencing extreme health problems or damaging relationships with friends, family, and co-workers beyond repair is to seek treatment for your alcohol addiction.
Many people believe they can treat their alcohol addiction on their own, but it is essential that you seek treatment from an experienced and certified addiction treatment center. By seeking treatment from a certified addiction treatment center, you will be in a safe environment that provides you with access to medical professionals and support staff who will work to guide you down the road to recovery. A number of therapies and treatment options will be used to help you overcome your alcohol addiction.

Some therapies and treatment options that may be used as part of your treatment plan include:

  • Detoxification services
  • Residential treatment that includes 24-hour car, intense one-on-one personal counseling, group counseling, and alternative therapy
  • Intensive outpatient programs
  • Sober living
  • Transitional living
