Substance abuse treatment is a much better alternative than incarceration; a high percentage of long term alcoholics may eventually have problems with law enforcement.
In the 1800's, doctors routinely prescribed alcoholic drinks as a treatment for disease.
Scientists now believe that certain factors in a person's environment influence whether a person with a genetic risk for alcoholism ever develops the health problem. A person's risk for developing alcoholism can increase based on the person's environment, including where and how he or she lives; family, friends, and culture; peer pressure; and even how easy it is to get alcohol.
According to research by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), the brain continues to develop into the early to mid 20's; thus exposing the brain to alcohol during that period may impair brain development.
