The Definition of Alcoholism

Alcoholism is a disease in which the afflicted individual compulsively drinks alcohol. This intense craving results in the inability to manage control over the urge to drink. The more the individual uses alcohol, the stronger the body’s physical dependence on it will become. The resulting tolerance causes the need to drink greater amounts in order to achieve the same effects.

The first thing that many people confuse is the fact that alcoholism is not the same thing as alcohol abuse. While most consider them one and the same, in truth, they are very different yet equally dangerous conditions that are exceedingly difficult to rehabilitate from.

Alcoholism is recognized by the American Medical Association as a disease. In diagnosed cases of alcoholism, the person will crave the substance in the same manner as someone starving from food or water. Individuals will typically continue their consumption regardless of the damage it causes to their health, relationships, or their finances, as the compulsion is uncontrollable.

Like many other diseases, alcoholism is commonly passed genetically. While this genetic link has been scientifically determined, an individual’s lifestyle, environment, stress level, and the availability of alcohol also play a significant role in the development of this chronic disease. Fortunately, just because someone is “at risk” for the disease of alcoholism does not mean he or she will develop it. Understanding your risk level, however, can be key to protecting yourself and getting the help you need as early as possible.

Finding Alcoholism Treatment

The type and length of stay in an alcoholism treatment program ultimately depends upon the severity of your alcohol consumption and your resources. Generally speaking, most patients will require completion of a medically monitored alcohol detox program before they can advance to an alcoholism treatment program.

When choosing an inpatient alcoholism detox program, you would be wise to make sure the program includes:

• An alcohol detox program located within its own facility
• A medically-monitored alcohol detox program that includes 24-hour nursing
• A physician trained in addiction medicine (ASAM Certified)
• A comprehensive family component
• An intensive relapse prevention program
• A dual diagnosis treatment program if necessary
• A license by the state and accreditation through JCAHO
