Northern Kentucky Behavioral Health Clinic Blog Points Out the Signs of Alcoholism

SUN Behavioral Kentucky is a facility that specializes in helping those in Northern Kentucky with substance use and behavioral health concerns. It seeks to partner with the local community to get individuals the help that they need. In addition to helping individuals who are in crisis, this trusted name in behavioral healthcare also takes pride in educating people on various substance use and mental health topics. A recent blog posted by this reputable mental health and rehab hospital on its website points out the signs of alcoholism.

This new SUN Behavioral Kentucky blog post is aptly titled ‘How to Recognize the Signs of Alcoholism'. It started with an eye-opening statistic that stated some 42% of adults in Kentucky drink regularly and of those, 23% are thought to binge drink. This binge drinking can lead to alcohol use disorders that can have a dramatic impact on someone’s physical and mental health, cognitive functioning, professional life, and personal relationships. For those affected by alcohol addiction, quality treatment usually gives them their best chance for recovery.

The first warning sign of alcoholism that was discussed in the article was a person needing to drink earlier in the day, especially in the morning. Other warning signs that were brought up include someone getting into legal trouble or having problems at work because of their drinking. Those experiencing alcohol use disorder may also put themselves or others at risk by doing such things as drinking and driving, practicing risky sexual behaviors, falling and getting hurt, or even drinking while pregnant.

This SUN Behavioral Kentucky blog even talked about the withdrawal symptoms that someone dealing with alcohol addiction may display. These include headaches, nausea, tremors, sweating, hallucinations, or a fever. Depression, anxiety, mood swings, and memory loss were also included in the possible warning signs of someone becoming dependent on alcohol. This new blog post also went over how SUN Behavioral Kentucky can help someone living with an alcohol disorder, and the posted article also included some FAQs regarding alcohol dependency.

The clinic’s representative mentioned that in addition to helping those dealing with alcohol addiction, they also treat both adults and children who are experiencing other substance use problems or mental health issues.

Those that have sought help from SUN Behavioral Kentucky often write very positive reviews on that experience. Austin Coyle proclaimed, “I was placed here 3 times and I can tell you that I have never been to such a great place with caring, open, and responsible workers. Thank you so much for helping me through my struggles and trying part of my teenage life. I was very suicidal and at the end of my rope, but this place saved me from ending my life. The friendly staff was more like family to me than anything and I would highly recommend this place to anyone in crisis.”

Dina English wrote, “I have sent several people to SUN to get help with alcohol and drug detox. They are a great partner and have even helped my friends and family after hours. They care about helping people and I will continue to use them when I have someone I care about who needs help with a drug or alcohol problem. Thank you, SUN, for helping my family and friends get sober!”

Letta Ramsey stated, “SUN Behavioral Health is something Northern Kentucky has needed for a long time. The Staff is very compassionate and caring. They take care of their patients in the most professional way and the facility’s standards are very high.”
