Re:Alcoholism 3 Months, 1 Week ago  
Alcoholism carries many serious dangers. Heavy drinking can increase the risk of certain cancers. It can cause damage to the liver, brain and other organs. It can cause birth defects. It increases the risk of death from car crashes and other injuries as well as the risk of homicide and suicide.
Alcoholism is a treatable disease and many treatment programs and approaches are available to support alcoholics who have decided to get help, but no medical cure available.
Regardless of how someone is diagnosed as alcohol dependent or how they came to realize they have a serious drinking problem, the first step to treatment is a sincere desire to get help. Alcoholics who are pressured into treatment by social pressure or forced to quit by circumstances rarely succeed in the long run.

Re:Alcoholism 3 Months, 1 Week ago  
Despite a minimum legal drinking age of 21. It is our younger generation that is becoming the prevalent ones of drug use. In America 1.9 million Americans are admitted to a treatment facility and roughly 30% were under the age of 25. Over half of the 12-17 year olds (called youth by the study) were admitted for the use of marijuana. The majority of 18-25 year olds (young adults) are treated for marijuana and alcohol. Thirteen- to fifteen-year-olds are at high risk to begin drinking. They are often the binge drinkers and are at a very high risk for liver failure or alcohol poisoning. Teens are also the majority whom are at fault for drunk driving.

Re:Alcoholism - Why Young People Drink 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago Karma: 4  
Alcoholism in youth carries many of the same root causes as it does in adults - young people begin to drink because of peer pressure, social awkwardness, being uncomfortable in their own skin, emotional escape, experimentation, "social lubrication", "liquid courage" etc.

Treatment of alcoholism in youth and adolescents presents certain challenges that adult treatment doesn't necessarily face. For example, young alcoholics often have not experienced the negative consequences of their drinking that adult alcoholics or alcoholics that have been drinking for long periods of time have, and therefore aren't as motivated to escape their alcoholism, or aren't motivated at all to do so. They haven't reached a bottom yet, and most recovering alcoholics and treatment professionals would tell you that the first step in someone getting sober is reaching some sort of "bottom" that is a significant enough negative experience for them to want to change their life.

Additionally, there are additional challenges to adolescent treatment that apply to certain treatment circumstances - i.e. in a co-ed treatment setting, where males and females are in treatment together, human nature sometimes gets in the way... young men and women in adolescence often experience increased hormonal production, and hence have a tendency to concentrate more on one another than on their treatment. Therefore gender specific treatment has been shown to be considerably more effective statistically in adolescent treatment (and frankly in adult treatment as well, but that's another discussion altogether).

I hope this has been helpful, if you have additional questions, don't hesitate to contact us (the administration of this website) directly and we'll be happy to help point you in the right direction...

All the best,
