Life-changing alcohol addiction treatment
Alcohol addiction also referred to as ‘alcoholic, alcoholism or alcohol abuse disorder” is a condition that has been medically characterized as drinking so excessively that your body develops a dependency in order to function through daily life. According to recent data, more than 6% of adult American citizens suffer from an alcohol dependence disorder with an alcohol use addiction.
More than 90% of people who have an addiction started to drink alcohol or use drugs before they were 18 years old.
About 20% of Americans who have depression or an anxiety disorder also have a substance use disorder.
About 6% of American adults (about 15 million people) have an alcohol use disorder; only about 7% of those people ever get treatment.
What causes an addiction to develop?
Within the alcohol treatment and rehabilitation industry, we use a method known as CAGE to check whether an individual may be an alcoholic or close to being classed as one. The short test consists of only four questions that can be remembered using the acronym “CAGE.” The tests go as follows, the first question you should as yourself is:
- C - Have you ever felt as though you should Cut down on your drinking?
- A - Have you ever become Annoyed by individuals criticizing your drinking habits?
- G - Have you ever felt Guilty about your drinking habits?
- E - Have you ever experienced an Eye-opening situation? For example, you wake up, and the first thing you reach for is a drink to steady your nervousness for the day or get rid of a hangover instead of drinking more?
If you find yourself answering Yes to the majority or all of these questions, this is a strong sign that you may be struggling with alcohol addiction. It would benefit your health and mental well-being to receive help and care from an expert treatment center.

- Seek support as soon as you can: No one can succeed in recovery alone; reach out to trusted loved ones and a medical professional to give you the support you need to help you through this relapse and prevent future relapses.
- Identify your triggers: Becoming aware of your triggers can help you minimize or altogether avoid the situation or event again, which could cause another relapse. Talk to your therapist about your triggers to get a plan put in place.
- Make a plan to prevent relapsing again: With the guidance of your therapist or medical professional, try to analyze your relapse and create a bespoke plan to avoid any future similar scenarios from taking place.

Focus on yourself and your goals; it does not matter what anyone else thinks; go at your comfortable pace.
