What is Alcoholism?

Alcoholism is clinically called Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). It is a chronic disease characterized by an intense craving to drink alcohol, despite its effects on one’s physical health and mental well-being.

Individuals with AUD often find themselves trapped in a cycle where they build a tolerance to alcohol, leading them to consume larger quantities to achieve the same effects. Increased consumption can result in physical dependence and addiction. The causes of alcoholism are rooted in genetic, environmental, or psychological factors.

Around 15 million people in the US struggle with alcohol abuse disorder, but fewer than 10% get the treatment they need. The consequences of excessive alcohol consumption contribute to more than 170,000 deaths per year according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Detox: The process of removing alcohol from the body. It is usually done in a supervised medical setting to minimize physical symptoms of withdrawal that can sometimes be life-threatening.
Sub-Acute Detox: This form of detox helps people gradually reduce their dependence. It involves a combination of medication and counseling.
Social Detox: This form of detox involves removing yourself from your usual social environment and surrounding yourself with people who support your recovery journey.

Rehabilitation: Maple Mountain Wellness offers both inpatient and outpatient rehab. It typically involves individual therapy, group therapy and other support services to help address the root of your drinking and build healthy coping strategies.

Aftercare: This is the phase of treatment that occurs after the individual has completed their rehabilitation program. Aftercare is extremely important to continue receiving support during this time to help prevent relapse and stay sober.
