What are the Symptoms of Alcohol Addiction?
People who suffer from alcohol addiction often don’t recognize or wish to confront their symptoms. Yet, various warning signs can help detect potential alcohol abuse, whether you or someone you love is suffering.
If you or a loved one relates to one or more of the following, it may be a sign of alcohol use disorder:
- Being unable to cut down or stop drinking
- Choosing to drink over other responsibilities and obligations
- Constantly thinking of excuses to drink
- Drinking alone or in secrecy
- Experiencing cravings for alcohol
- Experiencing temporary blackouts or short-term memory loss
- Feeling hungover when not drinking
- Isolating or distancing from friends and family members
- Lying about how much or how often you drink
- Showing signs of irritability and extreme mood swings
AUD can be categorized as either mild, moderate, or severe, so symptoms may manifest in different ways depending on the person. Some individuals with AUD may suffer all the above; others only a few.
Some questions you can ask yourself to better determine if you have AUD are:
- Do you continue to drink even though it makes you feel depressed, anxious, or otherwise unwell?
- Do you experience alcohol cravings or urges to drink?
- Do you often find yourself in situations in which you drink much more than you intended?
- Have you ever been in trouble with the law due to an alcohol-related problem?
- Have you experienced symptoms associated with alcohol withdrawal?
- Have you lost interest in your hobbies and other activities since you started drinking?
- While drinking, do you allow yourself to get into situations that increase your chances of harming yourself or others, such as drinking and driving?
Once you arrive at our treatment facility, we will provide a more in-depth assessment to properly diagnose your disorder. This will allow us to provide you with the most effective treatment program possible.

What should I expect when entering alcoholism rehab?
Many people have preconceived notion that alcohol rehab is a cold, boring experience designed to punish a person for drinking. This could not be further from the truth. At Chattanooga Recovery Center, we take pride in offering alcohol treatment programs that combine proven, structured techniques with holistic therapies to make the recovery process as comfortable, relaxing, and enjoyable as possible. Your treatment program may involve anything from traditional talk therapies to experiential outings, art therapy, volunteer opportunities, and more.
How long does alcohol treatment take?
Most alcohol treatment programs do not have a set period of time associated with them, but instead are tailored in length based on the severity of your addiction. Our admissions professionals can recommend a treatment program that best fits your needs. It is important to remember that alcohol dependency is often a relapsing condition that requires a long-term effort to recover from. Staying involved in aftercare programs and support groups once treatment has ended can be a crucial step in helping you stay on the sober path.

In many cases, yes.
