Alcohol Withdrawal
Alcohol affects the nervous system and can result in nerve damage and severe memory loss. Chronic alcohol use also increases the risk of cancer of the larynx, esophagus, liver, and colon. Withdrawal develops because the brain has physically adapted to the presence of alcohol and cannot function adequately in the absence of the drug. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms may include a rapid heart rate, restlessness, anxiety, psychosis, depression, loss of appetite, seizures, an elevated temperature, increased blood pressure, hallucinations and even death. Psychological factors may include a need for relief of anxiety, ongoing depression, unresolved conflict within relationships, or low self-esteem. Social factors include availability of alcohol, social acceptance of the use of alcohol, peer pressure, and stressful lifestyles. Our program offers the most effective alcohol detox in the country.
