What is Alcohol Addiction?

Alcohol is a drug and is addicting just like any other substance you may be familiar with and most likely many that you are not. Alcohol may be legal but it is an addicting substance that everyone who has even a casual drink should be aware of and take stock of if they think they might be drinking too much.

How much is too much is a good question and one that the professionals at an addiction facility can answer fully for you or regarding someone in your life that might be having a problem with drinking.

There are signs and symptoms to look out for whether you're worried about your own drinking or someone else's. That's because one of the aspects of alcohol abuse in comparison to some other drugs is that it takes a long time to become addicted. However, that doesn't mean you aren't already doing damage, physically, emotionally, and mentally, to yourself before you are addicted.

This is referred to alcohol abuse and it almost always precedes a person's addiction. The major sign that someone is abusing alcohol is excessive drinking on a regular basis to the point where it is having a negative impact on parts of their life and although they realize this fact, they continue to drink.

Physical signs including blacking out while drinking, taking part in risky behaviors such as drinking drunk or experimenting with other drugs, tolerance, wherein over time a person needs more alcohol to get drunk or feel normal, and finally cravings when a person hasn't had a drink that day.

At this point, where a person is having regular cravings, has built up a tolerance to alcohol, and feels bad if they stop drinking or drink less a certain day (withdrawal), they are either on the precipice or have transitioned over to being addicted.

If they haven't already considered addiction treatment, now is the time. Even if you've have no idea how addiction treatment would work, come into an alcohol rehab in Mission and get the process started. It's never too late to make a positive change in your life.

Dangers of Alcohol

Physically, alcohol can affect a person's heart, liver, brain, and other organs in their body. Additionally, taking part in the risky behaviors that were mentioned can have immediate and long-term consequences. Driving while intoxicated, if no one is severely injured or killed, can still have serious financial and employment ramifications.
