How Ritual Recovery Treats Alcoholism in North Carolina
Treating alcohol addiction involves a combination of medical, therapeutic, and support modalities. Treatment should be tailored to individual needs and personal history; what works for one person might not be effective for another.
Certain medications, such as benzodiazepines, can be administered under medical supervision to manage withdrawal symptoms. Other medications like Disulfiram, Naltrexone, and Acamprosate can be prescribed to reduce alcohol cravings and prevent relapse.

How to know if someone has a drinking problem
The Symptoms of Alcohol Abuse
- Loss of Control: Individuals with alcoholism often find it challenging to limit the amount they drink. They might want to stop drinking or cut down but find themselves unable to do so.
- Cravings: Strong cravings or urges to drink alcohol, even when inappropriate or dangerous, are a hallmark of alcoholism. The compulsion to drink can become overwhelming.
- Tolerance: Developing tolerance means needing to drink more alcohol to achieve the desired effect. Over time, individuals with alcoholism may need significantly larger amounts to feel the same impact they used to experience with smaller quantities.
- Withdrawal Symptoms: When not drinking, individuals with alcoholism may experience withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, sweating, shakiness, anxiety, and even seizures. These symptoms can be relieved by drinking alcohol.
- Loss of Interest: People struggling with alcoholism may lose interest in activities or hobbies they previously enjoyed. Drinking becomes the primary focus of their lives.
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Alcoholism can lead to neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home. Individuals may start missing work or neglecting their family and household duties.
- Continued Use Despite Consequences: Even when faced with negative consequences such as health problems, legal issues, or strained relationships, individuals with alcoholism continue to drink.
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Persistent unsuccessful efforts to cut down or stop drinking indicate a significant problem. Individuals may make promises to quit or reduce their drinking but find it impossible to follow through.
- Social Isolation: Individuals with alcoholism may withdraw from family, friends, and social activities, preferring to drink alone or with a select group of people who share their drinking habits.
- Increased Risky Behavior: Alcoholism often leads to engaging in risky behaviors such as drunk driving, unprotected sex, or confrontations, putting themselves and others in danger.
- Physical & Mental Health Issues: Chronic alcohol abuse can lead to a variety of health problems, including liver disease, heart problems, depression, anxiety, and memory impairment.
It’s important to note that not everyone with alcoholism will display all of these signs, and the severity of the symptoms can vary. If you or someone you know is exhibiting several of these signs, seeking help from a healthcare professional or addiction specialist is crucial. Treatment and support are available and can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals struggling with alcoholism.
