LOS ANGELES, April 19, 2018 -- With April being Alcohol Awareness Month, studies show 83% of people who drink excessively received no advice or encouragement from family and friends to cut down their drinking. Women with drinking problems were much less likely than men to receive advice with only 11.7% of them encouraged to seek help.
Using alcohol is socially acceptable and often even encouraged, despite the very real risks of substance abuse and health issues. According to a study published in JAMA Psychiatry, a staggering 1 in 8 Americans struggle with alcohol abuse.
“Hearing from friends or family that they might need help with alcohol is one of the main factors in people seeking treatment. And the sooner they get help, the sooner they can go on with their lives with a healthier relationship with alcohol,” says Dr. Diane Rothon, Medical Director for alcohol recovery program Alavida Health.
Only 10% of addicts ever get treatment
“The key to helping Americans with alcohol use disorder lies in having open and honest conversations about alcohol, helping people identify they have a problem, and finding them the right type of help to treat their addiction,” Dr. Rothon says.
Once someone has identified that they need help, finding the right kind of treatment is the next step. There are plenty of options, from traditional 12-step programs like AA to more revolutionary treatments such as Alavida Health, a science-based treatment program that promotes controlled drinking therapy instead of abstinence and touts a 75% success rate.
