Alcohol Awareness Programs in Colorado

Alcohol abuse indicates unhealthy or dangerous drinking habits that interfere with work and personal life. Increased alcohol abuse can lead to alcohol dependency, or alcoholism. Alcoholism is characterized by a physical and mental need to drink, withdrawal when not drinking and a lack of control of the amount of drink consumed. Both alcohol abuse and dependency can have a negative impact on the sufferer's life, but there are programs that can help.
