Alcoholism is a term with multiple and sometimes conflicting
definitions. In common and historic usage, alcoholism refers to
any condition that results in the continued consumption of
alcoholic beverages despite the health problems and negative
social consequences it causes. Medical definitions describe
alcoholism as a disease which results in a persistent use of
alcohol despite negative consequences. Alcoholism may also refer
to a preoccupation with or compulsion toward the consumption of
alcohol and/or an impaired ability to recognize the negative
effects of excessive alcohol consumption. Although not all of
these definitions specify current and on-going use of alcohol as
a qualifier, some do, as well as remarking on the long-term
effects of consistent, heavy alcohol use, including dependence
and symptoms of withdrawal.
The effectiveness of alcoholism treatments varies
widely. When considering the effectiveness of treatment
options, one must consider the success rate based on
those who enter a program, not just those who complete
it. Since completion of a program is the qualification
for success.
Alcohol detoxification or 'detox' for alcoholics is
an abrupt stop of alcohol drinking coupled with the
substitution of drugs that have similar effects to
prevent alcohol withdrawal. Detoxification treats the
physical effects of prolonged use of alcohol, but does
not actually treat alcoholism. After detox is complete,
relapse is likely without further treatment. These
rehabilitations (or 'rehabs') may take place in an
inpatient or outpatient setting.
