Rapid Alcohol Detox

What Is Alcoholism, or Alcohol Use Disorder?

Alcoholism is a medical condition that involves frequent or heavy alcohol use, which can lead to physical and psychological dependence on alcohol. Alcohol use disorder is a pattern of alcohol use that involves problems controlling your drinking, being preoccupied with alcohol or continuing to use alcohol even when it causes problems. This disorder also involves having to drink more to get the same effect or having withdrawal symptoms when you rapidly decrease or stop drinking.

Alcoholism can have a significant impact on your physical and mental health, as well as relationships and social life. It can lead to liver disease, heart disease, cancer, and other serious health problems. You can develop depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. Alcoholism can also have a negative impact on your family and friends, as well as your work and financial situation.

People with alcohol use disorder can’t stop drinking, even when it causes problems, emotional distress or physical harm to themselves or others. Does this sound like you? If so, we can help.

Alcohol use disorder can be mild, moderate or severe, based on the number of symptoms you experience. Alcohol use disorder can include periods of being drunk (alcohol intoxication) and symptoms of withdrawal. Alcohol intoxication results as the amount of alcohol in your bloodstream increases. The higher the blood alcohol concentration is, the more likely you are to have bad effects. Alcohol intoxication causes behavior problems and mental changes. These may include inappropriate behavior, unstable moods, poor judgment, slurred speech, problems with attention or memory, and poor coordination. You can also have periods called “blackouts,” where you don’t remember events. Very high blood alcohol levels can lead to coma, permanent brain damage or even death.

Tell Me About Rapid Alcohol Detox Treatment

Many people attempt on their own to quit drinking, either by slowly reducing their alcohol intake over weeks or months, or by completely stopping their drinking altogether or going ‘cold turkey’. While this method can work for some people, it’s extremely difficult to ‘go it alone’ and most people find that – due to the dependent nature of alcohol – they find it too hard to taper off of themselves. Nearly all physicians recommend that detoxing off alcohol should be performed under supervised medical conditions.

Withdrawal from alcohol is not an easy process, but in the long term it is highly beneficial and it’s certainly better than dependency. If your body becomes dependent upon any substance, then it will react physically when that substance is removed, as it has come to regard that substance as part of its chemical processing. When you ‘do it yourself’ and reduce the quantity of alcohol, you are likely to experience the following:

• Nausea
• Excessive sweating
• Body tremors
• Intense changes of mood
• Shortness of breath

Understanding Your Dependency

Dependency is a form of addiction, but it is not an addiction itself. Someone who is addicted to a substance — such as alcohol — simply cannot function without it, even though addiction destroys many other aspects of their lives. If you are dependent upon alcohol then it simply means that your body would ‘rather’ have it than go without it. Dependency is not as destructive as addiction, but people feel that their lives would be better if such a dependency was removed.

Dependency though can lead to abuse. By abusing alcohol you drink more than you should, or you cannot stop yourself once your start drinking. This can lead into addiction, with some very detrimental results.

Many people can control their drinking, but others are fearful of their dependency, and the threat of abuse and addiction. Others – including people in control of their dependency – simply wish to live free of alcohol altogether.

Quit Drinking Cold Turkey Rarely Works

If you attempt to ‘go cold turkey’ or try to taper off alcohol, these withdrawal symptoms will be even more intense and quite difficult to manage. Self-withdrawal can be difficult to manage too, and if not done properly then the entire process can take weeks, or even months.

Under proper medical care withdrawal from your alcohol dependency is perfectly manageable and can be done rapidly. Your withdrawal symptoms will be both managed and monitored, and taken care of in a way that is personal to your individual needs.

If you are serious about ending your struggle with drinking, doing so under the proper conditions and trained and knowledgeable medical care will give you the very best chance of being successful.
