Non Profit Drinking Rehabilitation Centers

Alcohol abuse , as described in the DSM-IV, is a psychiatric diagnosis describing the recurring use of alcoholic beverages despite negative consequences. It is differentiated from alcohol dependence by the lack of symptoms such as tolerance and withdrawal. Alcohol abuse is sometimes referred to by the less specific term alcoholism. However, many definitions of alcoholism exist, and only some are compatible with alcohol abuse.

Treatment

Treatment for alcohol abuse varies, but there are many programs that exist from prevention to age- and gender-specific rehab centers. Many times there are physical abuse issues associated with alcoholism. Group treatment programs entirely composed of women, for example, can help tend to issues surrounding male abusers. Rehabilitation centers are recommended for detoxification as there can be serious physical effects, including death, if treated improperly.

College binge drinking

A study in 2001 indicated ‘”29 percent of US college students have driven a car while under the influence of alcohol’” (Windel). A separate study was performed and the results were that ‘”2.1 million students between the ages of 18 and 24 drove a vehicle under the influence of alcohol’”(USA.gov). These two studies show college drinking and driving is an issue. The 1995 Centers for Disease Control and prevention National College Risk Behavior Survey reported that ‘”39.9% of college students between the ages of 18-24 rode with a drunk driver in the past month’” (Beck).
