Alcohol is legal, widely available, and a common part of social events. This can make it easy to forget that alcohol is, in fact, a drug. And like all drugs, it comes with the potential for abuse and addiction.
People who struggle with alcohol addiction may find that they are unable to control their drinking, even when it begins to cause problems in their lives. They may feel like they need to drink in order to relax or have a good time. And they may keep drinking even when it leads to arguments with friends or family, job troubles, or legal problems.
If you’re struggling with alcohol addiction, don’t try to go it alone. There are many effective substance abuse treatment options available. NuLife Behavioral Health can help you find the right alcohol addiction treatment program for your needs. Reach out to our team at 888.409.4775 or connect with us online to get started.

- Mental health – Those with anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns may be more likely to turn to alcohol as a way to self-medicate.
- Stress – People who are dealing with chronic stress may be more likely to abuse alcohol.
- Environment – People who are exposed to alcohol at an early age or who have easy access to alcohol are more likely to develop a problem.
Signs and Symptoms of Alcohol Addiction
If you’re considering treatment for yourself or are concerned about a loved one’s drinking, it’s important to be able to recognize the signs and symptoms of alcohol addiction. Look for the following:
- Drinking more or for a longer period of time than intended
- Inability to cut down or stop drinking
- Spending a lot of time getting and using alcohol
- Cravings and urges to drink
- Drinking in secret or hiding alcohol
- Drinking despite negative consequences
These are just a few of the signs that may indicate a problem with alcohol. If you notice any of these in yourself or a loved one, it’s important to reach out for help.
