Alcohol abuse in Georgia is a growing concern. What are the signs and symptoms of alcohol abuse?

  • You’ve lost control over your drinking. You often drink more alcohol than you wanted to, for longer than you intended, or despite telling yourself you wouldn’t.
  • You want to quit drinking, but you can’t. You have a persistent desire to cut down or stop your alcohol use, but your efforts to quit have been unsuccessful.
  • You have given up other activities because of alcohol. You’re spending less time on activities that used to be important to you (hanging out with family and friends, going to the gym, pursuing your hobbies) because of your alcohol abuse.
  • Alcohol abuse takes up a great deal of your energy and focus. You spend a lot of time drinking, thinking about it, or recovering from its effects. Often, drinking is the center of your social life.
  • You drink even though you know it’s causing problems. For example, you recognize that your alcohol abuse is damaging your marriage, making your depression worse, or causing health problems, but you continue to drink anyway.

Denial is one of the biggest obstacles to getting help for alcohol abuse and alcoholism in Georgia. The desire to drink is so strong that the mind finds many ways to rationalize drinking, even when the consequences are obvious. Unfortunately, denial often increases as drinking gets worse. And by keeping you from looking honestly at your behavior and its negative effects, denial also exacerbates alcohol abuse related problems with work, finances, and relationships. It’s a vicious cycle.

If you have an alcohol abuse problem, you may deny it by:

  • Drastically underestimating how much you drink
  • Downplaying the negative consequences of your drinking
  • Complaining that family and friends are exaggerating the problem
  • Blaming your drinking or drinking-related problems on others

If you are reading this, chances are that you or a loved one has an alcohol abuse problem in Georgia.  You feel lonely, misunderstood, alienated and confused.  The first thing you must realize is that there is hope.  There can be a happy future in store for you and your loved ones.  Georgia alcohol abuse treatment centers are here to help.  If it is you with the alcohol abuse problem in Georgia, making that phone call is the most difficult part of the process.  If it is a loved one who is alcoholic, alcohol intervention may be necessary to insure that the alcoholism goes no further, as it can and does lead to prison, and even death.

Alcohol abuse treatment programs in Georgia have the tools available to help overcome alcoholism.  A caring professional will put together a combination of programs and treatment that will best benefit you and your family.  Alcohol abuse treatment is not a quick fix.  It takes time and commitment, but the rewards are outstanding.  Imagine a happy life, free of alcohol and the devastating havoc it can cause.  This happy life is only possible by contacting help for the alcoholic.

Georgia alcohol abuse treatment begins with alcohol detox. Alcohol detox is the first crucial step of the recovery process. Alcohol detox has the individual cease drinking - thus giving the body a chance to rid itself of harmful toxins. It is a "drying out" period that should be undertaken while under professional care and supervision as withdrawal symptoms will occur during the process. Alcohol detox is so important that many treatment programs will not allow the individual to continue on with the bulk of alcohol abuse treatment until it is complete.

Once alcohol detox is complete, the individual is free to begin the next phase of their Georgia alcohol rehab. Many Georgia alcohol rehab programs have historically strictly provided alcohol rehab without attention to other mental issues. However, given the impact of addiction on other life issues, it is no surprise that mental health complications are very common among those who participate in Georgia alcohol rehab programs. In fact, more than 44% of alcoholics have mental health complications prior to the onset of alcohol dependence and many others develop mood-related complications, such as depression and dysthymia, after the onset of the addiction. The finest Georgia alcohol rehab centers incorporate mental health treatments in addition to alcohol rehab services in an effort to treat these co-occurring issues.

Quick Drug Facts

Colorado law requires that wine be sold in containers of at least 24 ounces and spirits in containers at least a fifth of a gallon. But, at the same time, it also decrees that no alcohol beverage can be stored in hotel minibars in anything larger than miniature containers.
Some pregnant women have actually become frantic upon realizing they had inadvertently eaten salad that had wine vinegar dressing, fearing their children would be born suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome. Of course, wine vinegar, being vinegar, contains no alcohol.
Liquor stores in the US are called "package stores" and sell "package goods" because of laws requiring that alcohol containers be concealed in public by being placed in paper bags or "packages."
The Colonial Army supplied its troops with a daily ration of four ounces of either rum or whiskey.
