Insomnia and Alcoholism
Do you struggle with insomnia and alcoholism? These conditions often occur together. When you are battling the need to sleep but cannot do so, or alcohol consumption seems to dominate your day, it’s time to get help. At Alina Lodge, our alcohol rehab program helps you manage these side effects and give you the tools and resources you need to start healing again.
Do I Need Help with my Insomnia and Alcoholism?
It is not always easy to tell. That’s because insomnia, characterized by numerous nights of little or no sleep, can bring on alcohol use as a coping method. However, many people with alcohol use disorders are also faced with the inability to sleep. Men and women with mental health disorders are also more likely to struggle with both substance use disorders and insomnia.
There are many reasons you may have insomnia. It could be a medical problem such as chronic pain. For some, it is anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder. For still others, it is due to stress and the challenges of life. The key to remember here is that you do not have to live with insomnia and alcoholism. In fact, you don’t have to deal with any of the side effects of alcohol.
Do you experience any of the following?
- After a day at work, you need to drink to get to sleep.
- If you didn’t drink, you would see images of your past trauma all the time.
- Alcohol helps you deal with relationships.
- Your insomnia is worse if you don’t drink.
- When you have alcohol before bed, you find yourself struggling to sleep.
If you or someone you care about is experiencing any of the above, it is worth reaching out for professional addiction help.
How to Overcome the Side Effects of Alcohol
When you are using alcohol as a coping mechanism for mental health problems, insomnia, or other stressors, it becomes highly likely that you’ll develop an addiction. You may know you have an addiction if you cannot stop using alcohol without intense withdrawal symptoms. You may find it hard to get any sleep if you don’t have a drink. Or you may find that your mind is racing with thoughts and worries if you don’t drink.
How do you break this cycle? The first step is reaching out for help. The key here is to give your brain time to heal from the mental health issues, trauma, and the addiction itself. The longer you give your brain time to heal, the more likely you will eventually be able to control what’s happening to you. This is why at Alina Lodge, we focus on long-term recovery. Through comprehensive care, including innovative programs, you will be able to overcome these challenges.
