Rehab News:Alcoholism recovery 'protects against downward social drift'

Bad neighbourhoods are known to contribute to the development of alcohol abuse, but a new study has revealed that the reverse relationship may also be true.

Experts from the University of Michigan believe that alcohol problems may in fact lead individuals to live in neighbourhoods that are characterised by unemployment, poverty and poor family integration.

Commenting on the study, which is published in Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, psychiatry researcher and corresponding author Anne Buu said that the relationship appears to be a two-way street.

"Continuous alcohol involvement has long-term negative effects on place of residence," she claimed.

"In contrast, recovery from alcoholism is protective against downward social drift."

The expert noted that the findings could have particularly important implications for women.

"The effects may be even stronger on women because alcoholic women have a high tendency to marry alcoholic men, referred to as 'assortative mating'," she claimed.

"Alcoholic involvement of both partners could speed up the downward social drift."

The expert noted that preventive efforts may therefore have positive effects "in both directions".
