1(800) 615-1067Alcohol addiction can have a significant impact on the brain. Regular, heavy alcohol consumption can lead to changes in the brain’s chemistry and structure, including reduced gray matter in the brain, reduced blood flow, and damage to the hippocampus, which is important for memory and learning. These changes can affect a person’s cognitive function, memory, and decision-making abilities, and can also contribute to the development of mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety. Long-term alcohol abuse can also lead to alcohol-induced dementia, which is a form of cognitive impairment that affects memory, attention, and decision-making.
