Why Treatment for Alcohol Misuse is Important

Choosing to get help can be a struggle. Many people believe their drinking is under control and that they can stop whenever they choose. However, an addiction to alcohol can spiral out of control much faster than many people realize. In the end, unchecked alcohol misuse almost inevitably leads to worsening addiction. As soon as your drinking patterns indicate misuse, it’s time to get help before this issue affects your health, happiness and future.

Excessive drinking can lead to many long-term effects, some reservable, some not, including:

  • Memory loss
  • Learning difficulties
  • High blood pressure
  • Irregular heartbeat
  • Liver damage
  • Multiple types of cancer
  • Alcoholic hepatitis
  • Stroke

Alcohol use disorder has profound effects on your mental health, often causing symptoms of anxiety, depression and more. Alcohol addiction can also lead to problems at work, school and within your home.
