A Young Woman Quits Drinking, Goes Through Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms, And Makes Up Her Mind To Get Alcohol Rehabilitation

Kayla is a thirty-five-year-old legal assistant who has been consuming alcohol in an abusive and excessive manner since she and her fiancee severed their relationship. Indeed, for the past eight months she has been drinking very nearly two bottles of wine every night, and on the weekends she also has been drinking several shots all through the day. In short Kayla has been drinking so hazardously that it's a wonder that she hasn't suffered from alcohol withdrawals when she tried to quit drinking.

After feeling dejected because she was beginning to close her eyes to her health, Kayla at last told herself that enough is enough, that it's time to stop the self pity routine, that it's time to stop the hazardous drinking, and time to move on with her life. So the next Saturday morning at 9:30 AM, she determined that she would stop drinking completely and suddenly without preparation or planning.

When she called her best friend and told her that she had quit drinking and that after a few hours she suddenly began experiencing flu-like symptoms, Nicole, her best pal, told Kayla to call her healthcare practitioner and discuss what she was experiencing.

Her healthcare professional told her that she may be suffering from alcohol withdrawal symptoms and that she should have a friend or family member drive her to the emergency room ASAP. Obviously her healthcare practitioner had phoned ahead and told the emergency room personnel to expect Kayla because when she got to the hospital, she was met by two paramedics who immediately told her to lie down on the portable bed they had with them.

An emergency room doctor administered some drugs to reduce the intensity of her flu-like symptoms and also gave her some meds to help eliminate the alcohol that was still in her circulation system. After a few hours, Kayla was removed from the ER and wheeled to the recovery room.

After she was in recovery for roughly an hour, Doctor Arndt, a drug and alcohol addiction specialist, came to see her. He took his time and explained in a clear fashion that Kayla had gone through alcohol withdrawals when she quit drinking due to the fact that she had become dependent on alcohol.

He then mentioned the fact that with heavy drinking on a daily basis, the person's brain over time adapts to the alcohol so that it can carry out tasks and operations in a "semi-normal" manner. When the drinker then abruptly quits drinking, it can be stressed, the brain responds by bringing forth alcohol withdrawals. Furthermore, her healthcare practitioner also explained the various alcoholism symptoms that an alcohol addicted person commonly goes through as the disease gets progressively worse.

Fortunately for Kayla, it was verified that she was in the first stage of alcohol addiction and, as a consequence, she was given a good projection for a total recovery if she will get the alcoholism rehabilitation she requires.

Kayla told the healthcare professional that she will do whatever it takes to get sober and to re-establish her health. She also stated that she has an outstanding hospitalization plan that will probably pay for most, if not all, of the costs required for rehab. It was obvious that Kayla was extremely happy with her optimistic medical forecast and felt at ease knowing that she will be able to get the alcohol rehabilitation she requires so that she can begin the path to recovery.
