Understanding Alcohol Addiction
What is Alcohol Addiction?
What Causes Alcoholism?
The Symptoms of Alcohol Addiction
Alcoholism, or Alcohol Abuse Disorder (AUD), is a chronic, progressive disease where a person feels compelled to consume alcohol despite its harmful effects on their health, relationships, and well-being. According to the DSM-5, AUD is diagnosed when a pattern of drinking leads to significant impairment or distress, meeting at least two of eleven criteria within a 12-month period. These criteria include strong cravings, difficulty controlling or cutting down alcohol use, and continuing to drink despite negative social, work-related, or health consequences.
Alcohol addiction often develops through a mix of genetic, environmental, and emotional factors. Genetics can play a strong role, especially if there’s a family history of alcoholism. Environmental influences—like easy access to alcohol, social norms around drinking, and early exposure—can also contribute.
Additionally, emotional factors such as stress, anxiety, depression, or past trauma may lead people to turn to alcohol as a way to cope, increasing the risk of dependency. Recognizing these factors is an important first step toward finding the right treatment for alcoholism.
The signs and symptoms of alcohol addiction can vary, but some common indicators include:
- Intense cravings to drink
- Inability to control or limit alcohol consumption
- Drinking alone or in secret
- Prioritizing alcohol over other responsibilities
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms (tremors, sweating, anxiety) when not drinking
- Needing more alcohol to feel its effects (tolerance)
- Memory blackouts
- Physical health issues, such as liver damage, high blood pressure, and digestive problems
- Social and occupational problems, like strained relationships, job loss, or legal issue

More About NateWhat programs do you offer for alcohol addiction?
We provide a range of programs tailored to support various stages of alcohol recovery. Options include Residential Treatment, where clients stay full-time in a structured, immersive environment; the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for daytime intensive support; Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) with flexible scheduling; and Outpatient Treatment, suited for milder cases or step-down care. Each program offers unique, supportive paths to sustainable recovery.
Do you offer detox for alcohol addiction and dependency?
Detox is a vital first step in alcohol abuse treatment. We partner with reputable detox centers that accept most insurance plans. We do not currently offer detox, however we’ll help arrange detox care, ensuring a smooth transition to our programs once detox is complete. Our approach ensures that clients experience a seamless, supported journey from detox to treatment.
Can I smoke or vape at Cornerstone?
Yes, smoking or vaping is allowed in designated outdoor areas at our treatment facility. We understand that quitting all substances at once can be overwhelming, so nicotine use is generally permitted, though we also offer support for clients who wish to quit smoking during their recovery journey.
Can I use my cellphone in treatment?
All clients will have access to their cell phones after a 7-day blackout period. You can use your phone during specific times, such as breaks or free time, to ensure that it does not interfere with your treatment and recovery process. Our goal is to create a focused, supportive environment where you can fully engage in the program.
What happens after I complete my alcohol addiction treatment?
After completing alcohol addiction treatment, we provide continuous support through our Recovery Coaching program, part of our Alumni services. Our Recovery Coaches stay connected with clients, offering resources and guidance to help navigate life beyond treatment. Whether it’s help finding work, managing stress, or continuing therapy, our goal is to support sustainable, lifelong recovery.
What if my loved ones don’t want to go into rehab?
If a loved one isn’t ready for treatment, start with an open, non-judgmental conversation. Express concern for their well-being and offer support. If they’re hesitant, explore options together and consult addiction specialists for guidance. Remember, helping someone struggling with addiction can be draining, so prioritize your own well-being, too.
