Alcoholic Symptoms and Signs

March 3, 2018 by Ashley Addiction Treatment

alcoholic symptoms

Is your drinking habit out of control? Moreover, do you suspect that you’re dealing with an alcohol use disorder? In fact, a list of alcoholic symptoms can clear up your questions.

There are Alcoholic Symptoms for Each Stage of a Use Disorder

A drinking problem comes in three stages. At first, you drink to excess on occasion. However, these incidents happen more and more frequently. Before long, you’re binge drinking more often than not.

From there, it’s easy to slip into the next stage. Your drinking is now a chronic problem. You drink alcohol each day. Furthermore, you can’t stop at one drink; instead, you drink to excess.

Because stopping after one drink is not possible for you, your alcoholic symptoms now include interpersonal problems. You may lose relationships or jobs because of your inability to stay sober. Trouble with the law is not far behind.

The final stage of an alcohol use disorder can result in devastating effects. The fear of withdrawal symptoms keeps you shackled to the drug. Therefore, you want to quit, but can’t. You need professional help, or the alcohol abuse may lead to deadly consequences.

Getting Help is Possible at Any Stage of the Disorder

Whether you’re binging or a little further along, there’s help. You don’t have to wait until the situation looks hopeless before you undergo alcoholism treatment. At an addiction treatment facility, experts in the field of addiction recovery customize a protocol for you. For example, modalities include:

  • Detoxification
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy
  • Family therapy
  • Holistic treatment
  • Nutritional support

Inpatient or Outpatient Treatment?

The easy availability of alcohol may lull you into a false sense of security. It’s a drug that’s as destructive and difficult to overcome as heroin. Just because it’s legal to buy doesn’t mean that overcoming alcoholic symptoms is going to be easy. In fact, the ready availability of the drug might make it harder.

For this reason, it makes the most sense to remove yourself from all temptations. Choose an inpatient setting for detox and rehab. Doing so ensures that you can regain control over triggers and develop coping mechanisms before you re-encounter the drug. Residential treatment is typically in a program participant’s best interest.

At Ashley Addiction Treatment, you undergo inpatient detox and rehab at the same facility. Doing so cuts down on the relapse potential. Find out how to get the help you need to move toward a sober lifestyle today. Contact our supportive staff at 866-313-6307 now.
