Alcohol Abuse & Addiction Treatment in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer and other parts of Alberta by Options Okanagan Treatment Center in Kelowna, British Columbia treating alcohol addiction and recovery.
Alcohol abuse is a chronic, relapsing condition in which an individual drinks to excess of alcohol in spite of the fact that it has a seriously negative effect on their life. The negative effects reflect in the person’s health, legal affairs, marriages, raising their children, friendships, job, social circles and more. Many alcoholics know the consequences, however, they are unable to stop themselves from drinking. In the US alone, there are currently over 14 million that are struggling with the disease of alcoholism at the present time.
To achieve their craved level of alcohol, many alcoholics have a level of tolerance that forces them to drink copious amounts of alcohol on a frequent basis. Their bodies have become so dependent upon alcohol that they literally cannot function without it. They will suffer severe withdrawal symptoms when they cut back on the amounts of alcohol that they drink.
To further complicate the condition, many of therm also combine illicit drug use with their alcoholism. This includes downers like benzodiazepines and opiates that will further augment the effect of the alcohol. In time, this may lead to serious respiratory depression and may eventually cause death. Many also use alcohol with other stimulants such as meth or amphetamine. This helps to ease any unpleasant side effects that the stimulant has when mixing it with alcohol. This, in turn, may well lead to cardiovascular conditions like heart attacks and strokes.
A lot of alcoholics go on to lead a successful life of sobriety and a productive life when they are properly monitored and have gone through detox as well as rehab and other ongoing therapies.
Why Your Loved One Should Consider Treatment At An Edmonton Alberta Canada Treatment Center

Typical reasons that they begin to drink are to have a good time, be a part of the crowd (especially in teens), cope with stress and so on. Once they recognize that this is a serious issue, many find it no longer enjoyable and struggle to cut back on the drinking.
The average alcoholic struggles to maintain their job, health, they may wind up divorced, incarcerated, homeless and without a job. Each and every organ in the body is affected by alcohol.
