Drunkenness complicates life: Alcohol abuse problems

Alcohol is fit for consumption and licenses are freely given for traders to do business in this line. Though globally all authorities acknowledge the negative effects of alcohol, they haven’t been bold enough to do the right thing classifying this product as an illegal substance. It is worrying seeing how drunkenness complicates life in the full view of our authorities who have allowed this substance to be used freely. It is also in their knowledge that even though they have put a certain ceiling of the quantity to consume, the substance is so addictive that when tasted, no one will remember the recommended units allowed for a daily consumption. Because of this, alcohol abuse has become the order of the day. Lives are lost, people get arrested and yet alcoholism is still on the rise.

To address this, we spoke to Doctor Dalal Akoury MD President and founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center to shed some light about this calamity. Interestingly, no one will be able to tell when they are crossing the line from moderate drinking to problematic drinking. It is one problem that will continue to be there unless the policy makers come up with something else that is acceptable and implementable. From her experience, she acknowledges that alcoholism and alcohol abuse is no respecter of anyone and so long as you are practicing what is known as social drinking, you are truly a candidate of alcoholism and alcohol abuse. If you want to be safe from this problem, the first thing to do is to be informed and understand what it takes to overcome this disturbing problem.

There are certain communities or racial groups who are at more risk than others like the Native Alaskans and American Indians.

Drug addiction exclusivity with all substances

Drug addiction exclusivity with all substances can cause serious frustrations

Drug addiction exclusivity with all substances: Withdrawal effects to addiction patients

The reasons why controlling addiction is posing a great challenge to people is because of its exclusiveness. That is to say drug addiction exclusivity with other substances. Speaking to Doctor Dalal Akoury MD who is not only the founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center but also a long serving professional in this discipline. Some drugs produce significant physical withdrawal like for example alcohol, opiates, and tranquilizers are some of the usual culprits. Some drugs produce little physical withdrawal, but more emotional withdrawal (cocaine, marijuana, and ecstasy). Every person’s physical withdrawal pattern is also different. You may experience little physical withdrawal. But that doesn’t mean that you’re not addicted, instead, you may experience more emotional withdrawal. To help us understand this better we have listed below some key elements of withdrawal symptoms that explain drug addiction uniqueness. The first list is the emotional withdrawal symptoms produced by all drugs. You can experience them whether you have physical withdrawal symptoms or not. The second list is the physical withdrawal symptoms that usually occur with alcohol, opiates, and tranquilizers.

Insomnia
Headaches
Poor concentration
Depression
Social isolation

Physical withdrawal symptoms

Sweating
Racing heart
Palpitations
Muscle tension
Tightness in the chest
Difficulty breathing
Tremor
Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea

Drug addiction exclusivity with all substances: Dangerous withdrawal symptoms

From the various studies conducted both in the past currently, there is clear scientific evidence that alcohol and tranquilizers produce the most dangerous physical withdrawal. It, therefore, means that when patients all over sudden stop usage of alcohol or tranquilizers, the implication of that action can lead to seizures, strokes, or heart attacks in high-risk patients. A medically supervised detox can minimize your withdrawal symptoms and reduce the risk of dangerous complications. The following are some of the dangerous symptoms of alcohol and tranquilizer withdrawal:

Grand mal seizures
Heart attacks
Strokes
Hallucinations
Delirium tremens (DTs)

Finally, we must all appreciate that drug addiction uniqueness and withdrawal from opiates like heroin and oxycontin can be extremely uncomfortable because of various reasons, nonetheless, that does not really mean that they are dangerous. However, the danger will only come when they are mixed with other drugs. Remember that heroin withdrawal on its own may not produce seizures, heart attacks, strokes, or delirium tremens and may at time this actions can be quite challenging and therefore if you have any concern about the effects of drug addiction uniqueness and withdrawal symptoms effects to addicts, the right thing to do is to schedule an appointment with the experts from AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury today for further guidance and professional direction.
