Overdo With Drinking: Safe Refuge at Rehab Centers

The National Institute on Drug Abuse has recently charted the death rate caused by alcoholism. A part of it belongs to the students’ community.

Around 1500 college goers die yearly just out of binge drinking. The reasons of death can be consumption of excess alcohol that damages the liver and many are caused due to accidents while driving after getting drunk. The number is not too small to mention just one sector of the victims. On the average it is around 45% of students getting involved into excessive drinking of alcohol.

Poisoning process

Alcohol is not something really bad if consumed in a limited way. The trouble begins when you go out of control. Too much drinking leads to gradual internal poisoning process and in turn it causes severe damage to the health.

When can we say that the drinking process has gone out of the limit? Large number of pegs in a short duration is the crux of the problem. How does alcohol hit the body?

It reacts in the body as the depressant for the nervous system. Thus various parts of your brain slowly become inactive when you drink. Alcohol actually gives you the feel that you are relieved from the pangs of life. But this is a short while mode of pleasure. In the physical level the damage it causes during this period is much more severe because the nerves may completely stop working with overdose of drinks and the result can be fatal.

Symptoms of alcohol poisoning

Acute stomach ache

Excess vomiting even when you are unconscious

Skin texture and color getting pale

Eyes are without life and always with the feel of drowsiness

Breathing troubles and restlessness

Fatigue and becoming unconscious frequently

These are the major symptoms when you are severely poisoned through alcohol consumption. Now simple treatment won’t be able to cure them or bring them back to normal life. Since they have reached a stage of severity, the same severity applies for treatment too.

Alcohol rehabilitation programs are there to help and guide these patients in due course of time. The rehab program will slowly bring the level of alcohol down and try to generate positive hope in their life so they can feel the essence of existence and give up these wrong practices.

There is no readymade formula of counseling but the rehab center gives special attention to each one’s problem and try to resolve them to their best. If someone has already overdone with drinking, there’s no alternative to a rehab program to save the person’s life.
