Medically Assisted Alcohol Detox
Understanding Medically Assisted Alcohol Detox
Have you ever drank too much one night and woke up the next morning with a pounding headache, sweating, and throwing up? Yes, I’m referring to a hangover.
Essentially, the way that alcohol interacts with your brain and the rest of your body throwing your biological systems out of balance. If you continue to drink heavily over an extended period of time, then your body beings to change the way it works to adapt to alcohol consumption. You will notice that over time you can drink more and more alcohol without experiencing a hangover. We refer to this as an alcohol tolerance. However, when you stop drinking alcohol, your body does not automatically go back to its regular balance. It takes time for your brain and body to re-adjust to a non-alcohol consumed state, resulting in a number of unpleasant and potentially dangerous symptoms.
