Alcohol Detoxification in Alaska

If you live in Alaska and you have been abusing alcohol, it is highly likely that you will get to a point where you find that you are struggling with alcoholism. Also known as an alcohol use disorder, this condition is quite serious.

In case you drink the substance heavily for a period of time, you will experience withdrawal symptoms when you reduce your drinking significantly or stop drinking abruptly. This process is quite serious and can cause symptoms that range from the mild to the serious.

However, if you have only been drinking the substance every once in a while, there is a low chance that you will experience these withdrawal symptoms when you quit. That said, it is highly likely that you will struggle with these symptoms if you have already gone through withdrawal in the past.

Understanding Alcohol Withdrawal

Alcohol causes depressive effects on the system. It can also slow down the functioning of the brain as well as lead to changes in the ways in which nerves in the central nervous system send and receive messages.

After a period of drinking, your central nervous system will adjust to the presence of alcohol in the system. This means that your body will have to work harder than it usually does to keep your brain active and awake as well as ensure that there is communication between your nerves.

In case you suddenly reduce your alcohol intake or completely stop drinking, your brain would still be in this state of depression. This is why you are going to experience withdrawal symptoms.

Withdrawal Symptoms

The symptoms of withdrawal that arise will range from the mild to the severe. The severity and intensity of these symptoms will largely depend on the amount of alcohol you used to drink as well as duration of your drinking.

About 6 hours after your last drink, you will experience mild withdrawal symptoms such as:

During this period, you may also develop a dangerous condition known as delirium tremens. This condition will be accompanied by severe symptoms, such as delusions and vivid hallucinations, as well as:

Getting Help

Ongoing alcohol abuse can only stop after you go through an alcohol detoxification program. This way, you will get the medical assistance, supervision, and management services to stop abusing this substance as well as recover from your addiction.

It is recommended that you check into one of these programs as soon as you realize that you have a drinking problem that leads to withdrawal symptoms when you quit using this substance.
