Not only does alcohol abuse take a toll on one&#8217;s health, but it can also lead to a pattern of domestic violence, drunk driving, thoughts of suicide or even death. Many people turn to alcohol as a way of handling stress, which is why most people with AUD have experienced a traumatic event in their past or continue to struggle with some sort of mental health disorder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Alcohol Awareness Month<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Alcohol Awareness Month takes place every year in April. The month is sponsored by the National Council for Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD). The main focus is spreading awareness of the dangers of alcohol abuse and treatment options that are available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\" datatext=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Untitled-design-2023-04-05T095802.886-700x441.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26298\" width=\"416\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Untitled-design-2023-04-05T095802.886-700x441.png 700w, https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Untitled-design-2023-04-05T095802.886-300x189.png 300w, https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Untitled-design-2023-04-05T095802.886-768x484.png 768w, https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Untitled-design-2023-04-05T095802.886.png 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 416px) 100vw, 416px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the effort this month to increase awareness, the NCADD encourages people to participate in a three-day alcohol cleanse. The idea is to designate an Alcohol-Free weekend during the month and then see if you are able to go without alcohol for the entire weekend while monitoring what, if any, symptoms may be exhibited to check for any signs of withdrawal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of withdrawal symptoms include sweating, nausea, headaches and trouble sleeping. Experiencing any of these symptoms could be a sign that you are overly dependent on alcohol. In this case, you should consider reaching out to a healthcare professional to develop a treatment plan to overcome your dependence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Dangers of Alcohol Abuse<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a reliance on alcohol can be incredibly dangerous when it comes to one&#8217;s health. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/alcohol\/fact-sheets\/alcohol-use.htm#:~:text=Over%20time%2C%20excessive%20alcohol%20use,liver%20disease%2C%20and%20digestive%20problems.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a> (CDC), AUD can be the cause of chronic health conditions, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>High blood pressure and heart disease<\/li><li>Strokes<\/li><li>Liver disease and digestive problems<\/li><li>Cancer&nbsp;<\/li><li>A weakened immune system<\/li><li>Memory problems, including dementia <\/li><li>Depression and anxiety<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to these serious health conditions, excessive drinking can also lead to impaired judgment and poor decision-making, often leading to dangerous and potentially deadly results. This includes higher risks of injuries, such as&nbsp;motor vehicle crashes, falls, drownings and burns. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/risky-driving\/drunk-driving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Highway Traffic Safety Administration<\/a> (NHTSA), about 32 people die every day in the U.S. as a result of drunk-driving crashes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alcohol abuse can also lead to an increase in unprotected sex or sex with multiple partners. Not only can this cause unintended pregnancies, but it can also increase the chances of contracting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Grants to Help with Substance Abuse<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GrantWatch.com<\/a> has a category specifically for grants related to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grants-filter.php?category_id%5B%5D=35\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">substance abuse<\/a>.
