The stages of alcoholism include problematic drinking, binge drinking of 5+ drinks for men or 4+ for women, and full-blown alcoholism where the person is dependent on alcohol. Seeking expert treatment is important to overcome alcoholism at any stage.

Alcohol addiction is a disease that results in persistent alcohol use despite negative consequences. It affects people differently based on genetic and social factors. Overcoming alcohol addiction can be difficult but treatment is available and recovery is possible. Treatment programs like Alcoholics Anonymous have helped many addicts by providing a support system to help them stay sober one day at a time.

Is Alcoholism Hereditary?
While genetics may increase one's risk of alcoholism, it is not the sole factor. The development of alcoholism can be influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, social, and psychological factors. Studies have found a genetic component but have not identified a single gene that causes alcoholism. Having genes linked to alcoholism does not determine if one will become an alcoholic. It just increases susceptibility depending on other risk influences in one's life.

Social Determinants of Health and Equity: The Impacts of Racism on Health
Social Determinants of Health and Equity: The Impacts of Racism on HealthVDH, Office of Minority Health and Public Health Policy
Presentation by Camara Jones, MD, MPH, PhD at the 2009 Virginia Health Equity Conference.
Dr. Jones presents the “Cliff Analogy” for understanding four levels of health intervention: medical care, secondary prevention, primary prevention, and addressing the social determinants of health. She described how health disparities arise on three levels (differences in quality of care, differences in access to care, and differences in underlying exposures and opportunities) and expand the “Cliff Analogy” to illustrate the relationship between addressing the social determinants of health and addressing the social determinants of equity, which is a fifth level of health intervention.
She identifies racism as one of the social determinants of equity and a fundamental cause of “racial”/ethnic health disparities in the United States, with racism defined as a system of structuring opportunity and assigning value based on the social interpretation of how one looks, which is what we call “race.” She described how racism impacts health on three levels (institutionalized, personally-mediated, and internalized) and animate understanding of these levels of racism with her “Gardener’s Tale” allegory.
Finally, using data from the “Reactions to Race” module on the 2004 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, she examined the relationship between responses to “How do other people usually classify you in this country?” and self-rated general health status to provide evidence of the impacts of racism on health. Dr. Jones challenges us to broaden the scope of our public health interventions by asking the question “How is racism operating here?” and then working to create a system in which ALL people are highly valued and ALL people are able to develop to their full potential.Alcoholism

Abrupt stopping of any drug including oxycodone is not advised by doctors. Abrupt stopping can lead to life-threatening signs of withdrawal.
