Signs and symptoms of alcohol addiction?
Alcohol addiction, also known as alcoholism and alcohol dependence, is a progressive degenerative disease that includes the following four symptoms:
- tolerance
- the loss of control
- physical dependence
- craving
Frequently people engage in alcohol abuse at different points in their lives, although this does not mean, however, that they are alcoholic. An alcoholic is also not necessarily someone that drinks every day. They could be someone that binges on alcohol sporadically. Either way, the alcoholic is someone that is unable to drink in moderation consistently.
Do I have a problem with alcohol addiction?
- Have you tried to cut down your alcohol or stop drinking with little or no success?
- Do you feel guilty about your drinking?
- Do you drink in secret from family and loved ones?
- Have you had legal or financial difficulties as a result of your drinking?
- Has alcohol been the cause of arguments between you and your loved one?
- Have you missed work due to your alcohol use?
- Do you have to take other drugs in order to cope with the side effects of the alcohol?
- Have you had any health complications as a result of your drinking?
- Do you continue to drink in spite of increasingly serious negative consequences?

Treatment options for alcohol addiction
Residential rehab centre treatment for alcohol addiction
If a patient decides that residential treatment is the best option for them, then they can be assured of a high level of care. Upon admission patients begin a carefully designed detox programme, which allows them to withdraw from their drug as comfortably as possible. Patients are frequently under 24-hour medical care and clinical needs are addressed thoroughly and safely. Patients are given a clinical assessment during their first few days of treatment. This ensures that the most effective treatment programme is constructed, thus guaranteeing the best possible chance for recovery. Patients then engage in a therapeutic programme,consisting of both group and individual therapy. We can help you to decide on the right programme and rehab centre for you.
Residential secondary treatment for alcohol addiction
Secondary treatment or ‘half-way house’ is a ‘step-down’ from primary care. Patients will usually have completed a period of primary care within a residential facility but will not yet be ready to return to the community. Secondary care provides clients with a supported structure within which they can begin to learn new life skills. We can help you to identify if this is going to be something that is appropriate for you or your loved one.
Outpatient treatment for alcohol addiction
Outpatient treatment options vary a great deal, from daily day-care options to intensive evening programmes, we can help you to decide on the best option for you. Frequently patients will decide on a combination of residential and outpatient programme, completing a short intensive programme as a residential client and continuing with the therapeutic programme on an outpatient basis.
One to one counselling for alcohol addiction
We work with a number of different counsellors who specialise in alcohol addiction. Patients will frequently require a counsellor on completion of any of the above structured treatment programmes and we can put you in touch with people who can help today. We can also give you access to free support groups throughout the UK.
