Treatment from Alcohol Addiction
A comprehensive treatment program for individuals struggling with alcohol dependence, combining medical detoxification, psychological counselling, and behavioural therapy to support long-term recovery.
Alcohol is a psychoactive substance that directly affects brain function, creating feelings of pleasure and temporarily reducing negative emotions. However, frequent and excessive alcohol consumption can lead to severe addiction, causing significant neurological and behavioural alterations.
Research shows that using alcohol as a coping mechanism for stress over time can worsen emotional instability, increasing anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation.
Excessive use also increases the risk of serious health issues such as cardiovascular disease, liver damage, and cognitive decline.
Alcoholism vs. Dipsomania – What’s the difference?
Alcoholism
Characterized by regular, excessive alcohol consumption in inappropriate contexts, such as:
- in the morning or on an empty stomach;
- at work;
- before or while driving.
People with alcoholism often try to hide their drinking, leading to social isolation and damaged relationships.
Dipsomania
Involves cyclical episodes of abstinence followed by short but intense periods of heavy alcohol consumption. These binges may last several days and the person struggles to stop drinking until the alcohol supply runs out. Afterward, individuals often experience:
- intense guilt;
- depressive episodes;
- social withdrawal and anxiety.
In both cases, progressive brain changes can affect memory, cognition, and decision-making abilities.
Long-Term Effects of Excessive Alcohol Use
Alcohol addiction affects not only mood and behavior but also physical health. Common long-term consequences include:
- liver damage – cirrhosis, alcoholic fatty liver;
- cardiovascular issues – hypertension, heart disease;
- gastrointestinal problems – ulcers, pancreatitis;
- cancer – higher risk of esophageal, liver, and pancreatic cancers;
- alcohol-related dementia – progressive brain degeneration, memory loss;
- mental health issues – depression, severe anxiety, aggression, impulsivity.
Alcohol-Related Dementia – A Dangerous Condition
Alcohol-related dementia is a severe condition caused by chronic alcohol consumption, leading to irreversible brain damage. There are three major types of brain injury associated with alcohol use:
- Wernicke’s encephalopathy – impairs motor coordination and causes confusion;
- Korsakoff’s syndrome – leads to severe memory loss and poor learning capacity;
- alcohol-related dementia – progressive cognitive decline affecting daily life.
Symptoms of alcohol-related dementia severe memory impairment:
- inability to make rational decisions;
- agitation, irritability, impulsive behaviour;
- difficulty recognizing familiar people or places;
- hallucinations and mental confusion.
How Is Alcohol Dependence Diagnosed?
To determine alcohol addiction, specialists recommend a comprehensive assessment, including:
- physical exam and medical history;
- standardized questionnaires to assess dependency level;
- psychological evaluations to identify emotional triggers;
- lab tests to analyse the physical impact of alcohol on the body.
