Alcoholism Treatment

Alcohol is a psychoactive drug that contains ethanol and depresses the central nervous system, resulting in lowered inhibitions, poor judgment, reduced attention and slowed reaction speed. Alcoholism is one of the most common forms of addiction currently facing our society, due in large part to the legality, availability and acceptance of alcohol in most social settings. Because consuming alcohol is not only common, but even encouraged at virtually every corner, from advertisements to business dinners, sporting events, parties and weddings, the chances for developing problems with alcohol become severely increased.

After initially causing euphoria and excitement, continued drinking will lead to functional difficulties and other short-term effects like:

• Confusion
• Increased emotionality
• Inability to stand or walk
• Lapsing and prolonged periods of lost consciousness
• Slowed respiration and circulation
• Delayed reflexes

Long-term, heavy drinking can result in:

• Possible death
• Dementia
• Several types of cancer
• Liver damage
• Heart disease
• Brain damage
• Memory loss
• Stomach ulcers
• Skin problems
• Sexual performance problems
• Marriage, family and societal problems
• Employment troubles
