HELP AVAILABLE 24/7 - CALL NOW

Are you a man who has become addicted to alcohol? Have you tried, unsuccessfully, to stop drinking on your own? For many people, there comes a time when the need for help becomes obvious. Overcoming alcohol addiction alone can be a great challenge, largely because of the uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms that arise once a man stops drinking. However, a quality drug and alcohol addiction treatment center for men can help you get through the complicated alcohol withdrawal treatment process safely. Staying sober will be much easier once all the toxins have been removed from your body, and rehab can help you get to this point.

Effects of Alcohol Use

Two Young Men Discussing Alcohol WithdrawalAlcohol addiction causes the user to constantly crave the substance. It takes away a man’s ability to limit or control his drinking, even in the face of dire consequence. Many people who have an alcohol problem will continue to drink, even if it means the possibility of harming themselves or others.

Why call us?

Alcohol addiction leads to a radical change in the body and brain. Long-term alcohol abuse can result in catastrophic effects on one’s health, relationships, and career. This should be reason enough to quit, but once the addiction and dependency have developed, quitting becomes extremely difficult.

Alcohol Withdrawal

As with all drugs, alcohol tolerance increases over time. A man addicted to alcohol will begin to experience uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms if he attempts to stop drinking or if he cuts his drinking by half or more. Symptoms could get so uncomfortable that many users will begin drinking again. Therefore, the cycle of abuse will continue.

Alcohol withdrawal symptoms could become complicated depending on how long and in what frequency the user has been abusing. In general, alcohol withdrawal occurs in three stages.

  • The first stage can begin in as little as 8 hours after the last drink. Symptoms include anxiety, insomnia, nausea, and abdominal pain.
  • The second stage, which usually appears 24-72 hours after the last drink, causes high blood pressure, increased body temperature, erratic heart rate, and extreme confusion.
  • The third stage usually begins 72+ hours after the last drink and can cause hallucinations, fever, seizures, and agitation.

For most people, symptoms start to decrease within five to seven days after the last drink. Getting through the withdrawal is the most difficult part of recovery, and that is why individuals are urged to seek professional help. Experienced medical professionals can help ease withdrawal symptoms and help individuals successfully move on to the next phase of treatment. Undergoing supervised withdrawal in a medical facility is also much safer than attempting self-detox.
