Choices Recovery Center - Alcohol Detoxification
Total Health Partners, LLC
For others, it is a weekend relaxation. For some it is a life choice.
For those in the latter group, alcohol dependency takes over their
life, and the only way to get clean is through alcohol detox.
The first things that come to mind when people think of alcohol detox
are usually drugs. Both illegal and pharmaceutical drugs can cause
long-term effects on the body that create a dependency. Rarely do
people think of alcohol detox when they think of detox. Alcohol is
both physically and psychologically addictive.
Many alcoholics find the psychological aspect of quitting to be the
hardest. The mind is a powerful thing indeed, and it is hard to fight
its influence. Beyond the social aspects of drinking, however, the
mind is usually only working on abating the physical needs of alcohol
dependency. The mind is a slave to the body in that respect.
Almost everyone who has taken a drink in their lives knows the after-
effects of 'the morning after.' These effects are usually rare and
happen only on occasion to the casual drinker. As bad as they seem at
the time, they are nothing compared to the withdrawal suffered from
alcohol detox.
Alcohol dependency advances in rather subtle stages that the drinker
usually doesn’t even realize they need alcohol detox. One party on the
weekend becomes a party every night on the weekend to a few drinks
after work every day to a six-pack every night, to a fifth just to
wind down. Finally, the need for drinking takes over their lives. They
no longer drink to unwind; they drink to survive the day.
When things progress to this stage, alcohol detox truly requires
professional help, because it can even be accompanied by seizures. The
body has built up such a level of dependency, that every cell is
accustomed to being drowned in alcohol.
Ask yourself a few simple questions. Do your friends and family talk
about your drinking so much that you wish they'd just stop? Have you
used credit cards to buy extra drinks or drugs? Have you missed work
because of a hangover? Have you tried to stop drinking alcohol for a
week but couldn't?
