What Is Alcohol Dependence?

Alcohol dependence, or alcoholism, is an illness characterized by a chemical imbalance in the brain. The imbalance can present as compulsive alcohol consumption, inability to control intake, and a depressed mood when unable to use alcohol.

Alcohol Dependent Behaviors

Not all alcohol use is detrimental to a person’s health, but knowing when drinking crosses the line from recreational and beneficial to dependent and harmful is not always easy. Another problem is that any addiction also comes with denial and minimization—an inability or unwillingness to see problematic behaviors. Unfortunately, denial keeps alcoholics from receiving the help they need for a serious illness.

Think about how, when, and why you use alcohol. If you experience any of the following, it may be time to ask for a professional’s assessment and help.

Alcohol use may signal an addiction if a person:

  • Keeps secrets or lies about drinking
  • Uses alcohol alone
  • Loses interest in hobbies, friends, work, and family
  • Drinks despite relational, professional, monetary, or legal trouble it may have caused
  • Has tried to stop drinking but has not been able to
  • Feels annoyed or angry at not being able to drink
  • Craves alcohol
  • Drinks more to feel the same buzz
  • Sweats, shakes, or vomits when going too long without a drink

Alcoholism and Other Health Challenges

Excessive drinking is associated with a host of other health challenges. When people consume more alcohol than their body can metabolize, the excess alcohol is circulated throughout the body via the blood stream. This excess alcohol can have a lasting effect and cause further health complications, including …

  • Liver disease
  • Osteoporosis
  • Gastritis
  • High blood pressure
  • Stroke
  • Atrial Fibrillation
  • Sight problems
  • Diabetes complications

Recovering from Alcohol Dependence

Alcoholism can cause horrific physical and emotional pain the lives of those who suffer from it as well as in the lives of their families and friends. There is no easy path to detox, treatment, and sobriety, but many recovered alcoholics will testified that battling their alcoholism was and is worth the effort.

Often, the first step toward recovery is acknowledging the problem and asking for help in addressing it. There are many paths toward recovery, and many people have found that a therapist helped them find the right path for them.

Recovering from alcohol dependence may include a multi-faceted approach. With a therapist’s guidance, finding the right treatment plan is a possibility. Treatment plans for alcoholism may include a …

Psychological Component – Counseling or therapy seeks to treat the underlying causes of addiction. A client and therapist may explore when and how the client first experienced alcohol; coping strategies (that do not involve alcohol) for managing difficult feelings and memories; any untreated mental health problems that have arisen because of the alcohol addiction.

Psychosocial Component – Support groups or group therapy have been an effective tool for recovery in the lives of many alcohol dependent people. In such a group setting, many people find empathy, accountability, and support.

Pharmacological Component – In certain cases, medication may aid recovery or help maintain sobriety. A medical doctor or therapist can determine if, when, or how medication can positively affect treatment for alcohol addiction.

She really listens to me and gives me alternatives to the ways I respond to stressors in my life. It is really personal and does not feel like on size fits all. I always leave our sessions feeling better. She also has great insight into what is going on in my life. She asks me if there is a thing in my past that is contributing to how I feel today. So we get to the root of the cause.

Amanda always validates my feelings and is great at talking me through what is happening in my head. She allows me to talk and get out what I need to then helps me analyze it to move past it. I am truly grateful for her. I was very afraid of restarting therapy with a new clinician but I can't say enough how appreciative I am of her.
