Alcohol Abuse Counseling
For many individuals, alcohol consumption is used as a tool to cope with everyday stressors and conflicts, such as a tough day at work, or a difficult life change or loss. But alcohol consumption can quickly turn into alcohol abuse or alcoholism. If this is the case for you or a loved one, it may be time to seek the help of a professional and begin alcohol abuse counseling.
For those with an alcohol use disorder, it can be difficult to identify when help is needed, and even harder to take the first step toward recovery. At REACH Behavioral Health, we understand just how hard that first step can be. What’s important to remember is that help is out there, and through working with an experienced alcohol abuse counselor, healing is possible.
What Are the Signs of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism?
While alcohol use disorders can manifest differently from person to person, it’s important to note some common signs that can indicate that you or your loved one may benefit from alcoholism counseling.
Signs of alcohol abuse can include:
- An unhealthy pattern of drinking that puts your safety or the safety of others at risk
- An inability to limit how much or how frequently you drink
- The desire to cut down on drinking, or unsuccessful attempts to do so
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms after drinking, or drinking to avoid these symptoms
- A decline in work performance, interpersonal relationships, or daily responsibilities due to alcohol consumption
- Continued use of alcohol even in unsafe situations, such as driving
- Strong desires or cravings to drink
- Secrecy surrounding your alcohol use or hiding consumption from others
- The inability to get through day-to-day activities without drinking
