Alcohol is one of the top selling products in the world, with beer and wine coming in right after water as the most widely consumed drinks. The way alcohol affects the drinker depends, according to several factors including their age, gender, weight, and height. For most people, alcohol can be consumed in small amounts without producing any negative effects. Unfortunately however, alcohol is often abused and drank in large quantities. A consistency of binge drinking alcohol causes many health problems, damages the addict’s relationships with those close to him or her, and eventually leads to death. At a Malibu rehab facility, caring staff will guide you through detoxing yourself of all negative effects of the alcohol, freeing yourself of the addiction, and understanding how to go back to your normal life without relapsing back into your old habits.
What Does Alcohol Do To The Body?
In small amounts, alcohol has very few effects on the body. When taken frequently and in large amounts, though, it can cause several problems. Alcohol becomes very addicting, because it changes the way the brain produces hormones and causes the drinker to feel great and momentarily forget their problems. The excessive alcohol drinker will suffer side effects to his or her health until the body has become somewhat adjusted to the alcohol and comes to depend on regular doses of it. Even more health problems will be suffered at this point. Because the alcohol is consumed as a drink, it passes through the digestive system and affects many other body systems and organs. Liver damage is an inevitable consequence of alcoholism. When alcohol is consumed in large quantities, the drinker becomes intoxicated and loses control of their body. Consequently, they may say or do things they never intended to and would not do if they were sober.
Curing Alcoholism At The Malibu Rehab Facility
At the Malibu rehab facility, there are a few different, and highly effective, programs for treating and curing alcoholism. The recovering addict must first detox from all alcohol that might still be in their body.
