How Alcohol Abuse Leads to Alcoholism

Types of Alcohol Addictions

Beer Addiction

Beer seems safe when you compare it to other types of alcohol. Beer is a social drink, one people often consume during sports events and while listening to live music. This makes a beer addiction seem harmless under the shadow of hard liquor.

It’s true that beer has low alcohol content when you compare it to other types of alcoholic beverages. Its alcohol by volume (ABV) is two to twelve percent for most brands and. The vast majority of beer labels only have four to six percent alcohol. But beer still can lead to alcohol addiction, especially when someone is drinking for a longer duration.

Other problematic behaviors that can lead to beer addiction include drinking as a social crutch and to avoid boredom, regardless of the time of day or present company.

Wine Addiction

Wine addiction can be confusing. On one hand, health-oriented articles call wine “good for you.” On the other hand, wine can be just as dangerous and also lead to alcoholism. The key to wine, like any alcohol, is drinking in moderation.

The alcohol in one average glass of wine equals a full pint of beer. Like beer, people often drink wine in social settings. Doing so, however, can lead to alcohol addiction. This is especially true if you drink to calm your nerves or boost your mood. Additionally, if you find yourself drinking excessively while alone it may also be time to seek help.

Hard Liquor Addiction

Hard alcohol, known as liquor, includes vodka, gin, whiskey, rum, and tequila. When you compare liquor to beer and wine, liquor is the most potent form of alcohol. Most people mix liquor with soda, water, or juice. By doing so, they don’t realize how much they’re drinking per serving unless they’re taking “shots.” Drinking liquor early in the day, at the end of each day, or in large volumes several times per week increases the likelihood of alcoholism.

Medical Detox

Individuals who have been using alcohol regularly for an extended period can develop a chemical dependency. Attempting to stop drinking without medical supervision can be risky. Prolonged alcohol use leads the body and brain to adapt, and abruptly ceasing alcohol consumption, commonly known as “going cold turkey,” can result in seizures, respiratory depression, and even stroke due to these compensatory mechanisms.

As part of your initial treatment for alcohol addiction, you will likely undergo a medical detoxification program. Our dedicated staff will support you in achieving freedom from alcohol and removing harmful toxins from your body, enabling you to embark on your journey to recovery with comfort and ease.

Our alcohol detox program in Florida is designed to address physical dependence on alcohol. Detox involves the careful use of various medical treatments aimed at alleviating the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal.

Inpatient Alcohol Rehab

After detox, our Florida alcohol rehab offers a full continuum of care, beginning with inpatient rehab. Inpatient rehab offers a safe and controlled setting for individuals to address the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of alcohol addiction while working towards sustained sobriety.

During inpatient rehab, clients live at the treatment facility and have 24-hour support. This structured environment offers a break from the triggers and stresses of everyday life, allowing individuals to focus solely on their recovery journey. Clients attend intensive therapies throughout the day and have the opportunity to participate in numerous holistic healing activities.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Those who participate in our partial hospitalization program typically live in our community housing, which is a beautiful apartment-style, semi-private residence. This level of care provides structure and support while allowing more flexibility within the community. Access to medication management, nurse practitioners, doctors, and psychiatrists is still available to clients throughout the program.

During PHP, clients attend treatment throughout the day and partake in therapy groups, structured activities, and aftercare planning. Interaction with family, peers, and other members of the patient’s community is highly encouraged throughout our Florida PHP. We even organize various activities and provide transportation to meetings and events that can help those in treatment to successfully overcome their drinking problem. Having the ability to maintain meaningful relationships with loved ones and creating relationships with others who are in recovery are both important aspects of lasting sobriety.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are a flexible and effective approach to addiction treatment that allows individuals to receive intensive therapeutic support while maintaining some level of independence in their daily lives. An intensive outpatient program or IOP consists of structured alcohol addiction treatment and mental health counseling. It is the middle ground between inpatient rehab and aftercare that allows individuals to receive extensive support without the necessity of 24-hour supervision. IOPs are valuable in promoting long-term recovery and can be tailored to fit the unique needs and schedules of each participant.

Outpatient Alcohol Rehab

Not all patients are able to take a significant amount of time away from everyday life. After spending weeks detoxing and undergoing inpatient rehab for alcohol, they may need to return to life’s responsibilities. This could include anything from caring for children, to working. Fortunately, patients don’t have to give up their responsibilities in order to continue their sobriety journey. Outpatient programs allow plenty of time for work or family obligations while undergoing alcohol addiction treatment.

Our outpatient alcohol rehab program in Florida offers evidence-based alcohol addiction therapy on a flexible basis that can fit any client’s schedule. It can make it easier to adjust to independent living and mitigate relapse.
