At New Heights Recovery Center in Columbus, Ohio, we aim to educate individuals about addiction as well as the substances that can impact their lives, including alcohol. Alcohol is a legal, psychoactive substance found in beverages such as beer, wine, and liquor. It affects the central nervous system and has a depressant effect, slowing down brain function and impairing judgment, coordination, and reaction times.
When consumed, alcohol quickly enters the bloodstream and affects various parts of the body. While moderate drinking may not result in harmful effects for some, excessive or frequent alcohol use can lead to significant health problems, including liver disease, heart issues, and an increased risk of accidents and injuries.
Alcohol addiction, also known as Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), is a chronic disease characterized by an inability to control alcohol consumption despite negative consequences. It involves physical dependence, where the body becomes reliant on alcohol, and psychological dependence, where alcohol takes priority over other aspects of life. People suffering from alcohol addiction often find it difficult to stop drinking, even when it leads to health problems, damaged relationships, or legal issues.
Alcohol addiction, also known as alcoholism, can develop due to a variety of interconnected factors. At New Heights Recovery Center in Columbus, Ohio, we understand that alcohol addiction is a complex condition influenced by a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors.
