Alcohol is everywhere. You’ll find it in pubs, restaurants, grocery stores, corner stores, and more.
Because alcohol is so readily available and is used by so many, people may think that their drinking isn’t problematic. However, at Banyan Treatment Center Chicago, we’ve witnessed the devastation alcohol abuse can cause firsthand. Alcohol is highly addictive, and it can rob a person of everything they hold dear. If you or someone you know needs help overcoming alcoholism, our Chicago addiction treatment center can help.
Signs of Alcoholism
It’s important to recognize the signs of alcoholism and alcohol abuse in yourself or someone you love. The sooner you spot these signs, the sooner you can seek treatment for the problem. Signs of alcoholism include:
- Blacking out when drinking
- Getting into legal trouble due to alcohol
- Having to drink to have a good time
- Feeling sick without a drink
- Drinking to cope with emotions
Even binge drinking can be problematic. Many people have problems with alcohol consumption, but ignore the severity of their issues. Alcoholics aren’t always the textbook image of a person who is drunk all day. Alcoholics of all ages exist, and they may not be intoxicated all the time. The moment alcohol becomes a crutch, or the moment it takes precedence over any other aspect of your life, you may need help to achieve sobriety.

How Alcoholism is Treated
Alcoholism can be one of the most challenging addictions to treat, partially due to the detox symptoms of alcohol. Many patients enter partial hospitalization programs in Chicago to treat their alcoholism.
