What Is Alcohol Addiction?
Alcoholism
Alcohol addiction is a gradual process of dependence that occurs over a period of time. Using alcohol to cope (whether with an uncomfortable situation or to celebrate) becomes common for someone who is predisposed to alcoholism. Alcoholism is a chronic, progressive disease that will destroy everything in its path.
Alcoholism is a severe public health problem. About 18 million Americans abuse alcohol and approximately 70 million more have dealt with alcohol addiction in their families. Alcoholism is a lonely, secretive disease that isolates an individual from family, friends and loved ones while adversely affecting physical health. The National Institutes of Health states that one-third of all Americans “engage in drinking practices that place them at heightened risk for medical disorders.”
Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms
People who are alcohol dependent will have clinically significant distress because of continued alcohol use. Alcoholics may have more arguments, relationship issues, financial problems, missed days from work, decreased immune system function and physical withdrawal symptoms.
Withdrawal symptoms from alcohol are the number one indication that dependence is present. Alcohol withdrawal can be intense, painful and sometimes deadly. When attempting to cease alcohol use after dependence, inpatient medical detox is suggested.

Numbness and tingling
Nausea and vomiting

Cognitive impairment
Long-term alcohol abuse has even more severe effects such as brain damage, nerve damage, liver damage or failure, pancreatitis and gastrointestinal bleeding. It is possible to stop these effects from further damaging your body by seeking treatment for alcohol addiction.
Alcoholism Treatment
Exploring treatment options for alcohol addiction is a step in the right direction. Treatment for alcohol dependence should begin with alcohol detox. In a medical inpatient detox program, medical staff monitor and medicate symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. During this time, any psychological and physical conditions can be addressed and stabilized.
It is safest for an alcoholic to remain in treatment after detox to decrease chances of relapse during his or her initial sobriety period. Anxiety and depression are among the symptoms that the alcoholic will have to learn to manage. It’s best to not have to do this alone because it may take 4 to 6 months for the body to adjust to not having alcohol in its system.
