Choices Recovery Center - Alcohol Detoxification

For most people, drinking alcoholic beverages is an occasional treat

. 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 doesnt 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?

If you've answered yes to any of these questions you might need alcohol detox. Please call us toll free 1-800-788-1659 to talk to a counselor who has gone through the process of alcohol detox and will explain you every step of the way.
