Addictions or Substance Abuse
Jennifer Luttman
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, ACS
Alcohol abuse is any pattern of drinking in an individual which may be harmful to their health. While moderate amounts of alcohol consumption (defined as two drinks per day for men, and one drink per day for women) are common and may even confer slight health benefits, alcohol abuse occurs when a person consumes excessive amounts of alcohol regularly or over a short period of time. Alcohol abuse often persists despite social, professional, and legal consequences that may occur due to a person's drinking.
Alcohol abuse is different from alcohol dependence, which is commonly known as addiction. While alcohol abuse frequently occurs as a consequence of alcohol dependence and addiction, the causes of alcohol abuse are complex, and alcohol abuse can likewise occur without the presence of alcohol dependence. Mental illness, abuse, poor economic and social conditions, and peer pressure are all major factors that can contribute to the development of alcohol abuse, as well as genetics and the potential for alcohol dependence, so it is important to take an individual's entire history into account when determining the root cause of their alcohol abuse.

Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor
Substance abuse addiction is a disease that affects not only the user but his or her family members. Abstinence does not solve the problem. Instead, I can help you and your family develop a new lifestyle that does require the use of mood-altering substances. Please read my book “Bulletproof Recovery” to know more about how my approach can help you achieve peace of mind and serenity.

Substances of all types help us feel better, to an extent. Sometimes the feeling we get from substances isn't worth it anymore.
