The fine line between controlled drinking of alcohol and dependency upon it can become easily blurred whenever you are looking at yourself or a loved one. How can you identify when the individual’s drinking or even your own alcohol consumption has become a serious issue and a dependency exists? How do you know when it is time to seek the professional help that only an alcohol addiction rehab center can provide you or your loved one?

The 5 warning signs of alcohol addiction

Remember that only you know yourself better than anyone around you, even family members, friends, and your loved ones. The following are the 5 primary warning signs that indicate a substance addiction is present:

• There are health problems directly associated with alcohol consumption yet you or your loved one refuses to stop drinking it
• Your family and friends are pulling away from you (or your loved one) because of abusing alcohol
• You or your loved one is absent from school or work, consistently tardy to school or late to work, or both on a regular basis, or, you or your loved one has difficulty holding down a job or continually quits school because of abusing alcohol
• If you or your loved one is also suffering from a concurrent behavioral or physiological condition, you may be a prime candidate for alcohol addiction rehab
• If you or your loved one cannot stop drinking alcohol, even though you have tried in the past, it’s time to get professional help for alcohol dependency
