Alcohol Detox
Due to the fact that alcohol seems to be ever-present in society, alcoholism is a condition that has proven to be extremely common and difficult to recover from. An estimated 15.1 million American adults suffer from alcoholism in a given year.
Outside of the standard side effects of withdrawal from alcohol, such as severe headaches, fever, sweating, depression and more, alcohol withdrawal can also cause life-threatening symptoms, including hallucinations, heart palpitations, seizures and a rare disorder called Delirium Tremens (DT).
We can use medications targeted at keeping the nervous system and heart muscles relaxed, which can lower potential risk when detox occurs in a clinical setting, as well as therapies aimed at making this process as easy as possible.
