Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol addiction, also known as alcoholism, is a chronic disease characterized by a strong and uncontrollable desire to consume alcohol despite negative consequences. It can lead to physical dependence, withdrawal symptoms, and other health problems, including liver damage, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Alcohol addiction can also have negative impacts on an individual’s relationships, work, and overall quality of life. Treatment options for alcohol addiction include medication, therapy, and support groups. Recovery is a lifelong process, and maintaining sobriety often requires ongoing support and treatment.
