Detoxifying from alcohol on your own can be dangerous due to the lack of awareness of withdrawal severity. If you’re suffering from alcohol dependence, it is of the utmost importance to detoxify your body under the safe supervision of medical professionals.
At The House of Life, we will accompany you through every phase of your recovery journey. Our medical professionals ensure an encouraging environment for you to accomplish your alcohol detox safely. Overcome your alcohol use disorder forever with our help!
Understanding Alcohol Dependence
Based on a person’s genetic structure, alcohol abuse is specified as more than eight to fifteen drinks per week or more than 4 drinks in a session. Many individuals who drink heavily mask their alcohol addiction under social drinking habits. This is the reason that less than 10% of people with severe alcohol addiction will start detox treatment. If left untreated, it can result in painful symptoms and even death.
Withdrawing from Alcohol
People who drink heavily may have severe side effects from alcohol withdrawal which can last up to 10 days. They need immediate medical support to prevent serious consequences. The healthcare providers at The House of Life are trained to assist patients through the medical detox process. They also help you in the harmful chemical withdrawal process without having acute symptoms of alcohol withdrawal in a harmless environment.
Alcohol Abstinence Syndrome
Physical Symptoms
When it comes to alcohol withdrawal symptoms’ timeline, they may begin as early as six hours after a person’s last drink. Meanwhile, mild symptoms such as nausea, headaches, and high blood pressure may appear. Over time, alcohol withdrawal symptoms may worsen, resulting in life-threatening conditions such as seizures and high fever, highlighting the need for alcohol detoxification.
Psychological Symptoms
Alcohol dependency has a direct impact on the central nervous system. Severe withdrawal symptoms from ceasing alcohol abuse may cause delirium tremens (DT), characterized by severe mental and neurological changes, agitation, hallucinations, tremors, rapid heart rate, and sweating.
Considering all these potential dangers including the risk for relapse, it is imperative for individuals to detox under the care of healthcare providers at a detox clinic!
