A Young Female Quits Drinking, Experiences Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms, And Decides To Get Alcohol Rehabilitation

Kayla is a forty-one-year-old legal assistant who has been ingesting alcohol in an excessive and hazardous manner since her fiancee and she broke up their relationship. Indeed, for the past eight months she has been drinking just about a bottle of wine every night, and on the weekends she also has been drinking more than a few shots all the way through the day. In a word, Kayla has been drinking so excessively and abusively that it's amazing that she hasn't suffered from alcohol withdrawals when she tried to quit drinking.

After feeling dejected because she was beginning to let her health go downhill, Kayla at long last told herself that enough is enough, that it's time to quit the self pity act, that it's time to stop the irresponsible and abusive drinking, and time to get on with her life. So the next Saturday morning at 9:30 AM, she came to a decision that she would quit drinking suddenly and completely without preparation or planning.

When she called her best friend and informed her that she had stopped drinking and that after a few hours she abruptly started to experience flu-like symptoms, Nicole, her best buddy, told Kayla to call her doctor and clearly explain what she was experiencing.

Her family doctor informed her that she may be going through alcohol withdrawal symptoms and that she should have a family member or friend drive her to the emergency room ASAP. It appears that her doctor had phoned ahead and told the emergency room treatment team to expect Kayla because when she got to the hospital, she was met by two emergency room workers who promptly told her to lie down on the portable bed they had with them.

An emergency room doctor administered some medications to lessen the discomfort of her flu-like symptoms and also gave her some drugs to help get rid of the alcohol that was still in her blood. After a couple of hours, Kayla was removed from the ER and wheeled to the recovery room.

After she was in recovery for just about an hour, Doctor Patterson, an alcohol abuse and substance abuse specialist, came to talk to her. He took plenty of time and explained in a clear fashion that Kayla had gone through alcohol withdrawals when she stopped drinking due to the fact that she had become dependent on alcohol.

He then stated that with heavy drinking on an everyday basis, the drinker's brain steadily adjusts to the alcohol so that it can work in a "normal" fashion. When the drinker then all at once refrains from consuming alcohol, it can be noted, the brain responds by bringing forth alcohol withdrawals. In addition, her medical practitioner also explained the different alcoholism symptoms that an alcohol dependent individual typically experiences as the disease advances.

Fortunately for Kayla, it was verified that she was in the first stage of alcoholism and, consequently, she was given a favorable forecast for a complete recovery if she gets the alcohol rehabilitation she requires.

Kayla told the doctor that she will do whatever it takes to get sober and to recover her health. She also articulated that she has a first-rate hospitalization plan that will more likely than not pay for most, if not all, of the costs needed for treatment. It was clear to see that Kayla was very happy with her encouraging medical prognosis and felt at peace knowing that she will be able to get the alcoholism treatment she requires so that she can begin the road to recovery.
