Do I Need Rehabilitation From Alcohol?

You may have noticed changes lately that have left you wondering whether or not it is time to stop drinking. This may have, in turn, caused you to wonder if you need rehabilitation from alcohol.

Below are some of the signs of alcohol addiction and what rehabilitation options may be available to meet your needs.

Signs of Addiction to Alcohol

While alcoholism appears in many different ways, here are some common signs of alcohol addiction you can look for:

·      Shakes, increased heart rate, and sweating when trying to stop the use of alcohol

·      Mood swings

·      Inability to quit on your own

·      Inability to have one or two drinks

·      Neglecting work or school obligations

·      Physical changes in weight and appearance

·      Isolation

·      Excessive partying

·      Restlessness

·      Strained relationships

·      In extreme cases, hallucinations when trying to quit drinking

If you are experiencing these symptoms, you should speak with an addiction specialist to see if you are suffering from a substance use disorder. If you are experiencing more extreme reactions (i.e. extended elevated heart rate, sweating profusely, hallucinations, etc.) see a medical professional immediately.

Is Rehab My Only Option?

Many people think inpatient or outpatient treatment at a treatment center is the only way to address alcohol addiction. In reality, another solution may be available for you—in-home treatment. This form of treatment involves addiction specialists and medical professionals visiting your home to administer the same quality of care you would receive at a treatment facility.

So, while checking into a rehab center is an option, it isn’t your only one.
