Learning the facts about alcohol’s effects on the mind, body, and society is vital in addiction recovery and awareness. During the month of April, we’re celebrating Alcohol Awareness Month. Each spring, Alcohol Awareness Month gives us the chance to reduce stigmas, seek help, and understand the effects of alcohol in our communities. If you’re looking for some facts on alcohol recovery or how to talk about alcohol with your loved ones this month, Red Oak Recovery® is here for you. Our 12-step addiction recovery programs and holistic treatments provide men ages 18-30 with comprehensive support and treatment. Based in beautiful North Carolina, Red Oak Recovery® combines traditional and ecotherapy to help young men thrive. With the help of our programs, many young adult men find the tools that they need to heal. Call us at 866.457.7590 to learn more about our 12-step addiction recovery programs and get started today.

Increasing Alcohol Awareness with Facts About Alcohol Use and Abuse

Alcohol Awareness Month provides us the opportunity to learn about the reality of alcohol consumption and share information with others. The more we understand and discuss alcohol addiction and co-occurring disorders, the fewer stigmas will exist around addiction and recovery. Here are some helpful facts to start conversations with friends and loved ones about alcohol consumption.

  • Alcohol consumption leads to nearly 80,000 deaths each year.
  • Both short- and long-term drinking can lead to adverse health effects.
  • Alcohol affects men and women differently. At least 17% of men and 8% of women are likely to live with alcohol dependency at some point in their life.
  • Alcohol depresses the nervous system and lowers blood sugar. This can be dangerous for those with diabetes.
  • While alcohol impairs judgment and motor function, long-term use can lead to organ failure.
  • Someone struggling with alcohol dependence does not always show signs of drunkenness. Those with a high tolerance will not appear intoxicated.
  • Because the male brain develops more slowly, college-age drinking can affect brain development.
  • Alcohol use often leads to other drug use. Taking illicit or prescription drugs with alcohol can increase drunkenness and harm vital organs.
  • During overdose or alcohol poisoning, a person becomes incapacitated and cannot seek help.
  • 50% of people living with addiction have co-occurring mood disorders like depression. Many are untreated.

These are only a few facts to spur conversation with others this month. When it comes to alcohol awareness, it’s important to seek out reputable information, talk to treatment programs, and learn how to spot signs of alcohol dependence in your life.

Begin a 12-Step Program for Men This Month in North Carolina

The more we talk about the dangers and side effects of alcohol, the easier it is to seek treatment, help others, and understand addiction. If you’re worried about your alcohol consumption or the drinking of those around you, know you are not alone. This month is the time to get help, start conversations, and help loved ones living with alcohol dependence.

If you or a young man in your life needs support for alcohol addiction, Red Oak Recovery® can help. Our ecotherapy programs help men ages 18-30 recover from substance use and co-occurring disorders. Set in the North Carolina wilderness, Red Oak Recovery® provides young men the place they need to disconnect from stress and social pressure through nature and evidence-based therapy.
