Alcohol use disorder affects one’s life as well as their loved ones. It can lead to issues with one’s physical and mental health, relationships, work, and finances. Treatment is still heavily stigmatized, however, know that alcoholism is not a choice and is best treated in a professional setting due to the dangerous nature of alcohol withdrawal. It can consist of medicated-assisted treatment, as well as various holistic therapies.

Alcohol use disorder is when regular or heavy drinking creates a change in one’s brain chemistry leading to increased tolerance which can develop into alcohol addiction. Some of the common causes for alcohol addiction include genetics, environmental factors, mental health conditions, social factors, and trauma. If one finds themselves unable to reduce alcohol intake, exceeding intended consumption, experiencing withdrawal symptoms, or experiencing issues with personal and professional life due to alcohol use; they may be experiencing alcohol use disorder.

This month Gratitude Lodge encourages readers to learn the signs and symptoms of alcohol use disorder to prevent or treat addiction before it’s too late.
