Alcohol Abuse


Alcohol Abuse

What are drinking problems? How serious is alcohol abuse among young people? What is the trend in drunk driving? What help is available for alcoholism?


What Is Alcohol Abuse

To some college students, heavy drinking that leads to vomiting is not alcohol abuse but simply having a good time and being "one of the gang."

To many whose religion requires abstinence, simply tasting an alcohol beverage is not only alcohol abuse but a sin.

To many activists, a married couple quietly enjoying a drink with their dinner is guilty of abusing alcohol if they happen to be twenty years of age.

To the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an accident is alcohol related (and implicitly caused by alcohol abuse) if a driver who has consumed a drink is sitting at a red light and rear-ended by an inattentive teetotaler.

It is difficult for any alcoholic to accept the fact that help is needed for an alcohol problem. The sooner you get help, the better are the chances for a successful recovery. There is a myth in our society that an alcohol problem is a sign of moral weakness. It is just another disease, and can best be treated in an alcohol rehab center.There are several alcohol rehab centers in the country, which run a variety of alcohol rehab programs. They can specialize in collegiate or adult programs for both men and women. The location of an alcohol rehab center is also special, because it is generally a secluded location so that it can provide a wonderful environment for recovery from alcohol.Large amounts of alcohol can cause profound changes in brain and body chemistry. Hence one of the first priorities in recovery from addiction is to detoxify from toxic chemicals. An alcohol rehab center starts treatment with complete detoxification, which can sometimes take months or years, depending on the seriousness of the addiction. The alcohol rehab center provides support and medical supervision during the first few hours or days of abstinence. At this time withdrawal can be physically overwhelming and even dangerous.

Hi,
People don't develop alcohol problems overnight. But like diabetes, heart disease and other chronic illnesses, there are many opportunities to prevent and treat, or intervene, at an early stage. The federal government recommends that all patients be screened for alcohol problems during routine health exams, before they are prescribed medications that interact with alcohol and when they are diagnosed with illnesses such as hypertension, depression and sleep disorders that are frequently associated with alcohol use.
