How do you recognize alcohol addiction and what do you do about it?

Can you answer “yes” to any of these questions?:

Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking?

Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?

Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking? Do you have a strong need or desire to drink?

Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover?

Just one ‘yes' in answer to any of those questions is an indication of alcohol abuse and addiction, and the need for alcohol detox.

For most people who suffer from alcohol abuse, especially those who also take over-the-counter or prescription medications or have a medical condition that is worsened by drinking, alcohol detox is necessary as a first step in treatment.

Withdrawing from alcohol can be painful and life-threatening. The symptoms start within 6 to 48 hours of the last drink and can include tremors, headaches, vomiting, perspiration, restlessness, loss of appetite and insomnia. But, for some, withdrawal can also bring on the sweating, shaking, hallucinations and confusion of delirium tremens (DTs), panic attacks and convulsions. In fact, one in four people are at high risk of seizure if not medically treated during withdrawal.

Alcohol Abuse Ruins Millions of Lives - Don't Let It Ruin Yours

JAlcohol is the most widely abused drug in the U.S. It's legal, readily available, and its marketing is almost impossible to escape - from commercials, magazine ads and billboards to product placement in movies and on television, alcohol is depicted as the drug that makes life fun. Alcohol is a multi-billion dollar industry – even our government makes billions in alcohol taxes - and that industry was built on the ruined lives of millions of Americans who suffer from alcohol abuse.

It's easy for someone to become addicted to alcohol – it releases inhibitions and makes troubles apparently disappear, while impairing judgment so thoroughly that many who have a problem with alcohol abuse don't recognize it until they're hooked. And quitting isn't just difficult, it's dangerous – more dangerous that coming off the worst of the street drugs.

If someone you love has a problem with alcohol abuse, call Novus Medical Detox now at 1.800.505.6604. We'll help them get through alcohol detox safely and more comfortably. It's the first step in ending their alcohol addiction, and rebuilding their lives.
