Treating Alcoholism—Alpharetta, GA Therapy and Counseling

Skilled therapists have helped many people gain more control over their alcohol use. Counseling may help people assess their alcohol consumption and help treat any uses that may be addictive or harmful.

The counselors at Thriveworks Alpharetta, GA have helped many people understand why, how, when, and where they drink and make empowered choices about their alcohol use. Reach out today if you think you could benefit from alcoholism counseling.

Alcoholism: What Is It?

Alcoholism, or alcohol use disorder, is an illness that disrupts the equilibrium in a person’s brain. The chemicals in the brain that release pleasure during alcohol use increase while the ones that curb impulsiveness are reduced.

Alcohol use disorder manifests as a loss of control with regard to alcohol intake. People have difficulty regulating when, where, how, and how much they drink. Those with an alcohol problem may also express anxiety, depression, and negative emotions when they are not drinking.

Alcohol use that is harmful may not necessarily be alcohol use disorder. There are many way to abuse alcohol that do not involve the loss of control that alcohol use disorder entails. A therapist or doctor who has experience treating alcoholics can diagnose the difference between alcohol use disorder and other bad habits.

Alcoholism: Am I Losing Control?

Take a moment to reflect about how, when, and where you drink. What do you see? If you use alcohol in one or more of the following ways, it may be time to have a professional assess your alcohol use. Anyone who struggles with alcohol use disorder may …

  • Crave alcohol
  • Imbibe more for the same good feelings or buzz
  • Feel annoyance or anger at being unable to drink
  • Consume alcohol alone or in secret
  • Develop a drinking ritual
  • Attempt to curb or quit drinking but without effect
  • Continue alcohol use after it has caused legal, relational, monetary, or professional problems.
  • Prioritize alcohol use over all other activities or relationships
  • Sweat, shake, and/or vomit while trying to quit alcohol or going without a drink

If you or anyone you know uses alcohol in the ways listed, it may be time to seek professional help. Getting help sooner rather than later might mitigate destructive effects of alcoholism.

Alcoholism: Other Health Problems

Alcoholism is a challenging illness in itself, but part of its difficulty is that it can cause so many other physical health problems. High and/or constant alcohol in the blood stream can raise a person’s risk for health problems or complications, including …

  • Blindness
  • Liver disease
  • Gastritis
  • Cancer
  • Birth defects
  • High blood pressure
  • Stroke
  • Atrial Fibrillation
  • Diabetes complications
  • Osteoporosis

I and so grateful to have such a wonderful therapist. And she is Christian based. I feel like she is a complete blessing and the way she listens and responds has brought me so much comfort that has grown into confidence. It's not just some lady who hears me and reads off solutions. It's a compassionate woman who genuinely cares and gives advice and backs it up with biblical references. I see her as family now! I recommend her to everyone.

This was only my second time talking to Melissa but I can honestly say that just in the two sessions we've had that I'm starting to feel 'better'. I have started looking and seeing things in a little bit of a different light. I also feel a little more aware with what triggers me and have started acknowledging those emotions and trying to understand that how I feel's valid.
