Introduction
April is Alcohol Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of excessive drinking and the importance of supporting individuals struggling with alcohol use. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), alcohol abuse and addiction affect millions of individuals and families in the United States. This month, we want to shed light on the issue and highlight how Foundations Group Recovery Centers' Day Treatment Program is equipped to help individuals build a solid foundation in recovery from alcohol use.
The Impact of Alcohol Abuse
Alcohol misuse has far-reaching consequences on both physical and mental health. Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to liver disease, cardiovascular problems, neurological disorders, and an increased risk of accidents and injuries. Moreover, alcohol misuse often co-occurs with mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders.
Statistics from the NIAAA reveal the scale of the problem:
Approximately 25% of adults report binge drinking or heavy alcohol use in the past month.
Alcohol-related liver disease is the cause of over 22,000 deaths each year.
Alcohol plays a significant role in almost 50% of deaths from motor vehicle accidents.
