How Do I Know if I Need Alcohol Addiction Treatment?
Alcohol addiction has no specific “type.” It may strike anyone, regardless of age, race, gender, or background. Therefore, for an accurate diagnosis, you may want to seek help from a licensed medical professional. Most medical professionals use 11 critical criteria to determine how severe an alcohol abuse disorder is. If you answer yes to 2-3 of the following questions, you may have a mild addiction. If you say yes to 4-5 of the criteria, you might have a moderate disorder. However, if you say yes to 6 or more, you probably have a severe disorder.
If these sound familiar, don’t panic. You need to get treatment at a detox and substance use facility, like the one at Serenity Light Recovery. Doing so will ensure that you are no longer alone in your addiction. You have an ally in your struggle against your alcohol use.
