After a few drinks, you tell yourself, it’s time to go. You know you should stop, go home, and get a good night’s sleep before work tomorrow. But then the TV closest to you starts showing highlights from the big game. You figure, it couldn’t hurt to stay and watch those. Might as well have another while you’re there. Everybody needs to let off steam somehow. No problem, right? Yes. Or possibly no. It can be hard to say when healthy alcohol use turns into misuse or even alcoholism.
Many people are unsure about where the line is between enjoying an adult beverage, an unhealthy habit, or even an addiction. Lots of people wrestle with when and how much to drink and therapy has helped them take back control of their alcohol use. The therapists at Thriveworks Greensboro offer treatment for alcoholism, and many people have overcome alcohol addiction and abuse with their help.
Alcohol use disorder is more commonly known as alcoholism or alcohol addiction. Whatever term is used, it describes a chemical imbalance in a person’s brain. The chemical that releases good feelings during alcohol use increases while the chemical that curbs impulsiveness abates.
The brain’s disequilibration shows up in loss of control. Alcoholics may imbibe impulsively, be unable to curb alcohol consumption, and feel negative emotions when alcohol is not in their system.

Do you recognize any of the behavior on this list in your own life or in the life of someone you love? If so, seeing a therapist may be an important step. A professional, objective opinion could mitigate a host of difficulties that come with untreated alcoholism.
Regaining control of alcohol consumption is a difficult process, but worth the effort. Just as people go to a doctor to treat most illnesses, many people benefit from seeing a therapist for alcoholism. Seeking treatment and therapy may provide the support people need to find the right path toward healing.
How, when, and where the alcoholism formed are unique to each individual, and treatment should be tailored to each individual as well. A skilled therapist may accelerate healing by diagnosing the alcoholism and finding appropriate treatments that benefit each client’s particular needs.
Therapist, in general, take a multifaceted approach to treating alcoholism. First, patients may need to go through a process of detoxing and cleansing the body of alcohol. But there are many ways to maintain sobriety. Therapists may help clients find psychosocial, psychological, or pharmacological treatment and many combinations of the three.
