Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol is among the most commonly misused substances across all demographics, and when combined with prescription medications or illicit drugs, its effects can be particularly dangerous. At Headwaters, we understand that for those struggling with alcohol dependence, it often feels impossible to function without it. This dependence can lead to a host of personal, professional, and health-related challenges. Our mission is to provide a path to lasting recovery for those in executive-level and high-responsibility roles and their loved ones who are facing alcohol addiction.
Understanding Alcohol Addiction
At Headwaters, we treat alcohol addiction as a complex neurobiological disease. Individuals in high-stakes roles may be more susceptible to developing alcohol use disorders due to social and professional environments where alcohol is readily available. Our team specializes in helping individuals and families break the cycle of addiction through a supportive and clinically sophisticated program that integrates physical, emotional, and spiritual care.
Recognizing the Signs of Alcohol Addiction
Identifying addiction is often difficult, as many individuals go to great lengths to conceal their drinking.
Key indicators of alcohol addiction include:
- Difficulty controlling alcohol intake
- Neglect of personal responsibilities
- Behaving violently after drinking
- Increased tolerance and consumption over time
- Failure to maintain sobriety long-term
- Thinking about how to drink successfully
- Persistent drinking despite the desire to stop
- Strained or damaged relationships due to alcohol
If you or someone you love displays these signs, reaching out for help can be life changing.
