Rhode Island

Alcohol abuse in Rhode Island is a concern for many families. Often, families wonder what is the course of alcohol abuse? There is no one set course for alcohol abuse. Some people begin drinking early in life; others begin later. Some abuse alcohol for a short period of time; others are dependent for life.

When a person in Rhode Island or anywhere for that matter begins to rely on alcohol to enhance all social interactions, he or she is at risk for dependence. Alcoholics believe that alcohol is necessary to get through everyday activities, alleviate stress, and cope with problems. The alcoholic denies the overpowering role alcohol plays. He or she may drink in secret to avoid confrontations with family or friends, and then feel guilty afterwards; drink more to alleviate the emotional stress, feel guilty; drink again; and so on, thereby creating a cycle of alcohol abuse.

Others in Rhode Island use alcohol in isolation to ease the pain of loneliness and alienation. Depression may also be a factor, and alcohol use may serve as a form of self-medication. Alcohol produces sedative effects that relieve anxiety. However, these initial effects subside and more severe depressive symptoms follow. The alcoholic may drink to relieve these symptoms. Once again, alcohol creates a cycle of alcohol abuse.

Those who are dependent on alcohol show a variety of patterns of drinking, including:

  • Binge drinking: heavy drinking which lasts for days, weeks, or months followed by long periods of sobriety
  • Daily drinking: moderate to heavy drinking each day which may or may not occur at specific times of the day
  • Weekend drinking: heavy drinking to the point of intoxication, but only on weekends

Sadly, in Rhode Island many people are in need of help for alcohol abuse related problems. If you are reading this, chances are you, or a loved one has an alcohol abuse problem. You are going in the right direction. Help is available for alcohol abuse in Rhode Island. By taking that first step and contacting an alcohol abuse treatment center, you are paving the way for a brighter, happier future. Alcohol intervention is sometimes necessary since it is even more difficult for the alcoholic to seek help for themselves. Anyone who makes that first step is doing a wonderful thing. Alcoholics are not any happier about the situation than you are. They need help; they may even want help, but just cannot bring themselves to get it.

Alcohol abuse negatively affects everyone it touches. It is not limited to only the alcoholic. It often leads to abuse, criminal behavior, and sometimes death. Rhode Island has alcohol abuse treatment clinics that have programs to help not only the alcoholic, but families as well. More often than not, the more involved loved ones are in the recovery, the better. Alcohol abuse treatment programs in Rhode Island are specifically geared toward each individual. Some alcohol rehab plans involve outpatient care, while some may involve a more extensive treatment option such as inpatient treatment. Rhode Island has 12 step programs to compliment other available treatment options.

Once entered into alcohol rehab in Rhode Island, you will go through alcohol detox. The reason why the body is physically affected by withdrawal is that the body is craving the alcohol and it's now being denied the substance. In addition, until a person is both physically and mentally stabilized, they are not adequately prepared to participate in a Rhode Island alcohol rehab or treatment program and expect a successful outcome.

Most alcohol rehabs and treatment centers have their own alcohol detox facilities. Those that don't, have affiliations with alcohol detox programs. There are medications available that help with aversion techniques, as well as depression that may come with the onset of alcohol recovery. Of course, you can also opt to go with the drug free method of alcohol rehab. There are so many options available. The only way to find out what help is available is to contact an alcohol rehab in Rhode Island. Take that first step to a healthier you.

Quick Drug Facts

The U.S. has the strictest youth drinking laws in Western civilization.
Even a small amount of liquor can negatively affect a baby's development and cause a lower birth weight or a higher risk of miscarriage.
Is alcohol a depressant or a stimulant? Pharmacologically, alcohol depresses nerve cells in the brain and body. However, the brain is so complex that when depression occurs somewhere in the brain, stimulation occurs to compensate for the imbalance. Thus, low doses of alcohol cause people to feel "high", while higher doses cause sedation and sleepiness (and in high doses, unconsciousness).
Alcohol (ethanol) is made from fermentation of various plant products. For example, corn mash fermentation produces bourbon; potatoes produce vodka; hops and malt, wheat and other grains are used in beer production; rice for the Japanese wine sake; malted barley for scotch whiskey; grapes for the different wines; sugar cane for rum; grains and juniper berries for gin; and many fruits for sweet liqueurs.
