Alcohol Treatment
If you suddenly stop using alcohol after a period of use, you may have withdrawal symptoms. These may vary from insomnia, jumpiness and sweating to more severe symptoms such as tremors, hallucinations, and convulsions. Detoxification is the process of safely getting alcohol out of your system and can be critical for individuals abusing it. Suddenly stopping after a long period of abuse can be physically dangerous and should not be attempted without medical supervision. The consequences of alcohol abuse are chronic and potentially long-term.
Alcohol, or ethanol, is an intoxicating ingredient found in beer, wine, and liquor. Alcohol is produced by the fermentation of yeast, sugars, and starches.
Alcohol affects every organ in the body. It is a central nervous system depressant that is rapidly absorbed from the stomach and small intestine into the bloodstream. Alcohol is metabolized in the liver by enzymes. A common effect of drinking alcohol is a sense of well-being. This feeling could be accompanied by drowsiness, dizziness and flushing. After one or two drinks, you may not appear drunk, but you have already lost some of your coordination skills. Drinking more alcohol will affect your speech, balance and vision.
Over time, heavy consumption of alcohol does extensive damage to almost every system in your body. Alcohol abuse has a major impact on society causing thousands of innocent deaths each year and exacerbating situations involving violent crimes and domestic violence.
Nationally, nearly 40% of admissions to mental hospitals and 50% of arrests are alcohol-related. The minimum drinking age is 21 years. However, it is estimated that nearly 65% of all alcohol outlets sell alcohol to minors. |
