Listen to the voices of recovering users, top alcohol researchers, and treatment professionals as they explore the emotional and physical reasons for drinking, the craving, the role genetics and environment plays, as well as strategies for treatment and recovery. This video is divided into two parts – Overview & Effects; Addiction, Other Programs & Treatments. It describes alcohol’s effects based on blood alcohol levels and length of use; the neurochemistry of tolerance and withdrawal; the social and legal consequences of drinking, and its toxic effect on a developing fetus.
“I found Alcohol & Its Effects to be the most powerful and impactful video that I have used with both youth and family groups.”
