Alcohol & substance abuse
Its defined as patterns of drinking or using drugs (prescription and illicit) that result in harm to a person’s health, well-being, relationships, and productivity. A person who abuses drugs and alcohol is not necessarily an addict. However, abuse of these substances is a risk factor for developing an addiction because continuous abuse can lead to physical and psychological dependence.
Alcohol’S Effects On The Brain
Alcohol has many damaging effects on the physical brain and its communication pathways. It causes changes to brain structures like the prefrontal cortex through long-term use and affects neurotransmitters like GABA, serotonin, and dopamine by overexciting or inhibiting them. Positve reinforcement from the pleasurable effects of drinking activates the brain's reward system and motivates continued drinking, while negative reinforcement comes from drinking to alleviate withdrawal symptoms.
Substance Abuse
An addiction is a complex brain disease that causes physical and mental dependence on drugs. Prolonged drug use changes the brain's structure and communication, making it difficult to stop using drugs. While addiction can be treated through rehabilitation, relapses and health issues often remain. Many factors contribute to drug addiction, including environment, biology, development, and peer pressure. Different drugs have various short-term and long-term effects on physical and mental health. Seeking help from a drug helpline is recommended for those struggling with addiction.
Alcohol abuse
Alcohol abuse has a long history dating back to ancient civilizations. It is formed through fermentation and acts as a central nervous system depressant. Chronic heavy drinking can lead to alcohol use disorder and alcohol dependence. Withdrawal from heavy long-term use can cause serious complications like delirium tremens and seizures. Alcohol abuse is associated with social problems like accidents, violence, and financial issues. It can also damage multiple organ systems and lead to medical conditions like liver disease and neurological impairments.
ALCOHOL ABUSE
This document discusses alcohol abuse, including its causes, effects, prevention, and treatment. It defines alcohol abuse according to DSM-IV-TR and lists common reasons for drinking. The short-term effects of alcohol abuse include slurred speech and impaired judgment. Long-term effects involve damage to major organs like the liver, heart, and brain, as well as increased cancer risk. Prevention focuses on reducing adolescent drinking and changing social norms. Treatment includes medical detoxification, cognitive behavioral therapy, and relapse prevention programs.
Alcoholism
Alcoholism is characterized by compulsive and uncontrolled consumption of alcohol that is detrimental to one's health, relationships, and social standing. It is considered a disease. Early signs of alcohol abuse include drinking alone, using alcohol to cope, and escalating consumption. Long-term effects include physical and mental health problems like liver disease, heart problems, and increased risk of certain cancers. Treatment options include support groups, therapy, and some pharmacological interventions. Prevention emphasizes drinking responsibly and moderation.

Complications of alcohol
Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant that can cause intoxication, sedation, and sometimes unconsciousness in large doses. Alcohol misuse refers to drinking that causes harm but does not include formal dependence. It can be recognized through screening questions like the CAGE questionnaire or AUDIT interview. Causes include genetic, learning, and psychiatric factors. Complications involve direct toxic effects on the gastrointestinal, nervous, and cardiovascular systems and increased infection risk. Mental effects include intoxication phenomena, withdrawal symptoms like delirium tremens, and associated disorders. Social complications comprise family problems like divorce, work difficulties, and increased crime risk.

Both smoking and excessive drinking are also harmful to non-users through secondhand smoke and alcohol-related accidents and crime. While moderate alcohol consumption may be safe for adults, young people should avoid drinking alcohol due to greater health risks. Illegal and abused drugs can also seriously harm health through addiction, overdose, disease, and other effects. Help is available for those struggling with addiction.
