Maryland

Alcohol abuse is a serious concern for many people in the state of Maryland. What are the warning signs of alcohol abuse? Here are the common signs of alcohol abuse:

  • drinking alcohol to get to sleep
  • drinking for socialization
  • drinking to relax or relieve stress
  • hiding alcoholic drinks or empty bottles
  • lying about alcohol consumption
  • no memory of events while drinking
  • inability to stop drinking
  • worrying that alcohol may run out over a holiday or weekend

Why does alcohol abuse problems only affect certain people? Millions of people engage in alcohol abuse or risky drinking habits that could develop into alcoholism. Not all of these people move from alcohol abuse into full-blown alcoholism. What makes one person an alcoholic and not another?

Research in Maryland suggests genetics and family history play a role in the likelihood that alcoholism develops. Having an alcoholic family member greatly increases an individual's chance of also developing alcoholic symptoms. Maryland researchers are quick to point out, however, that while genetic factors increase the risk of alcoholism, other factors influence whether an individual becomes an alcoholic. They include:

  • cultural views on alcohol and alcoholism
  • friends' and families' attitudes towards alcohol
  • peer pressure
  • personal lifestyle and personality
  • availability and affordability of alcohol
  • where a person lives

All too often, the majestic beauty of Maryland is marred by the ugly affects of alcohol abuse. No one escapes the grips of alcohol abuse until that first step is made for help. Often, it is alcohol intervention that first brings the alcoholic to realize help is needed. Maryland alcohol abuse treatment clinics have services and programs available to help everyone who has been affected by alcohol abuse.

Finding the right Maryland alcohol abuse treatment program is imperative to success. Since there are so many programs and treatment options, find out what is available at your local Maryland alcohol abuse treatment facility before searching elsewhere. There are caring, knowledgeable professionals ready to help you and your loved ones. Once you or your loved one has committed to alcohol abuse treatment the first step is alcohol detox.

Alcohol detox programs are where the addiction recovery process begins. Put simply, alcohol is addictive, and over time, the body builds up a chemical dependency which manifests in intense cravings for a drink. The cravings can be triggered by any number of things, including stress, the smell of alcohol, or a hundred other things. Alcohol detox begins by removing all lingering traces of booze from the alcoholic's body, flushing out all the toxins and residue, and dealing with any physical conditions brought on by short- or long-term alcohol abuse.

Going through the alcohol detox process is something that every alcoholic must undergo in order to free himself from alcohol addiction. It sounds rather ominous, conjuring up nightmarish visions of "The Lost Weekend" sort of cold turkey withdrawal. But undergoing "alcohol detox" at a qualified alcohol abuse treatment center avoids all that unpleasantness and helps a recovering alcoholic through this first critical step on the road to recovery.

Maryland alcohol rehab programs are the next step in overcoming your alcohol abuse problem. Not every patient with alcohol abuse problems in treatment receives the same structure of care for their recovery, but each alcohol rehab program does put addicts through a similar process in order to help them to overcome their vice. Every aspect of a treatment plan in alcohol rehab is personalized since addicts may all have the commonality of substance abuse, but the root of their problems are different along with their circumstances. This is why after an individualized treatment plan is developed in alcohol rehab, your recovery is constantly managed and assessed.

In ancient Babylon, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead (fermented honey beverage) he could drink for a month after the wedding. Because their calendar was lunar or moon-based, this period of free mead was called the "honey month," or what we now call the "honeymoon."
