Alcohol Dependency

Alcohol dependency, often referred to as alcoholism, is a medical condition where an individual has an intense craving for alcohol, can’t control their drinking, and experiences negative feelings when not drinking. It develops over time, leading to physical and psychological reliance on alcohol. Symptoms include increased tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, and neglecting responsibilities. Alcohol dependency can harm health, relationships, and daily functioning. Treatment options include counseling, support groups, and medications, which help individuals regain control and reduce their alcohol intake for a healthier lifestyle. Recognizing the problem is the first step toward recovery.
