What is Alcohol Addiction?

Also known as alcoholism or alcohol use disorder (AUD), alcohol addiction is a physical and psychological dependence on alcohol. Alcohol addiction looks different for every person because it covers a spectrum of related symptoms. When left unaddressed, it can cause a wide range of medical and psychological complications. An alcohol addiction treatment center can provide the physical and mental health services needed to begin a life without alcohol.

What are the Signs of Alcohol Addiction?

Showing more than one of these signs or another Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) criterion could indicate that someone has AUD:

  • Drinking more or longer than originally intended
  • Having strong physical and mental cravings to drink alcohol
  • Cutting back on favorite activities to focus on drinking
  • Continuing to drink despite social, physical or emotional consequences
  • Performing risky behaviors while drinking
  • Dedicating a large amount of time or money to drinking

How Do Treatment Centers Address Alcohol Addiction?

Since addiction impacts many aspects of life, evidence-based AUD treatment centers aim to address these elements of the disorder:

  • Physical: Medical services for withdrawal management reduce the physical symptoms of addiction, so a person with AUD can build recovery skills.
  • Psychological: Since addiction causes changes in a person’s thoughts and behavior, psychological services such as counseling can help them learn new thought patterns.
  • Social: Some patients in alcohol addiction treatment receive social services to help them reintegrate into society after AUD impacts their available resources.
