It could be said that alcohol is one of the most dangerous addictive substances known.
It destroys environments such as the family and it generates enormous social costs as a
hurricane of destruction.
It can be a direct cause of death through diseases such as liver cirrhosis, bleeding from
the digestive tract, a factor that causes violent acts of aggression, traffic accidents or
suicides.
Depressive drug
Alcohol is included among depressant drugs, although the first symptoms can cause a state of euphoria. After the first doses of alcohol, the capacities of judgment, attention, observation and reflection begin to diminish. The patient enters, thereafter, in a phase of depression that can lead to loss of consciousness.
Personality
The alcoholic can develop a personality with these characteristics:
- Loses the consideration of others.
- Unjustified aggression.
- Causes accidents, at work, at home, or in traffic.
- Neglecting work or other responsibilities and causing a crisis in the family economy.
- Generates social, family, work, psychological and physical damage to others and to himself.
- Self devalues itself in the eyes of others and their own.
- He is excluded and stigmatized in society with contempt and censure for his antisocial behavior.
Rehabilitation center for alcoholism
Although the patient will always have the support of our team of professionals
throughout the treatment, it is very important to have the support of the family during the process. Both goodwill and family support are two main pillars during the treatment of alcoholism for any patient.
Alcohol detoxification
Detoxifying the body of a person with alcoholism problems is one of the first steps to follow within the treatment. During the process of detoxification or treatment of the Abstinence Syndrome, the person must be under the supervision of qualified professionals, since they will need full support from doctors, nurses 24 hours a day and complementary psychological support for their emotional state and to free that first battle.
