When it comes to substance abuse, Southern California addiction recovery center Chapters Capistrano notes that most people associate addiction-related deaths to drug overdoses. However, this residential rehabilitation facility believes it is essential to raise awareness about the many deaths that are spurred by alcohol abuse. The Chapters Capistrano team points to a recent Washington Post article that details a CDC study of alcohol-related deaths; a study that puts a new perspective on the collective damage this form of addiction has on the United States.
The Washington Post states, “When a working-age adult dies, there’s a [one] in 10 chance that alcohol was to blame, according to a new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report analyzing survey data from 2006 to 2010. But even among the living, millions of years of life are lost annually due to the effects of drinking.”
Although the research breaks down the number of alcohol-related deaths state by state, the report also reveals that “Americans lose 2,560,290 years of potential life to drinking annually” and “some 87,798 Americans die due to alcohol annually.”
Mike Shea, founder of Chapters Capistrano, responds, “While the life-threatening effects of alcoholism are well-known, these new figures from the CDC truly show the weight of the damage this substance causes. Many people, particularly those struggling with alcoholism, may not realize that even if they are surviving bouts of binge-drinking they are still putting their body at risk—possibly reducing their life span by a great percentage.”
It is in the hopes of Chapters Capistrano that these statistics will help Americans reconsider how drinking—whether part of an addiction or casual use—makes an impact on their health. Shea states, “Hopefully, this report will help individuals realize that alcohol could be wasting precious years of their lives.”
Although alcoholism can cause irreparable damage to a body, Shea advises that any person struggling with a drinking problem take immediate action to restore health and sobriety. “Many alcoholics, particularly those who have relapsed, may be adverse to entering treatment,” Shea says, “but it is important to recognize that through greater appreciation of mental health and the science of addiction, many people can find hope through flexible recovery treatment.”
