Alcohol addiction and alcoholism are serious problems in Houma, LA. that must be addressed. Alcohol is used freely in our society, sometimes too freely. While normal alcohol consumption is very common and socially acceptable, it is still a drug. As a result, it can be hard for an individual to see when their drinking has crossed the line from casual or social use to alcohol addiction or alcoholism.

If someone in Houma is consuming alcohol just to feel good or to avoid feeling bad, this is a sign of alcohol addiction or alcoholism. It's one thing to have a couple of drinks with friends. It's a problem when a couple of drinks turn into obsessively drinking large amounts of alcohol despite the consequences. The individual may be trying to self medicate with alcohol, instead of handling a stressful situation or confronting a problem. Whatever the case may be, he is only making his problems worse by adding alcohol to the equation.

Alcohol addiction and alcoholism can potentially damage every organ in the body, so someone who is not getting help and continuing to drink is playing with fire.
