Alcoholism

about 40 at 5% alcohol volume

i'm assuming it's the same as opiates, it can't be more than a week.

i would say just go to meetings daily or whatever you can do to stay away and then once you get the shot you just won't crave it. ask a doctor that does vivitrol this question. good luck.

A major false belief is that alcoholics can obtain sobriety by attending an alcohol rehab. In reality, the success rates of alcohol rehabs are no higher than simply doing nothing, according to research.

.21-.30 percent

There are many parts of the body that experience negative physiological effects from alcohol abuse. They include major organs, such as the liver and kidneys. Alcohol can also affect the brain in negative ways.

This is NOT true. There are many private companies that are authorized by the TABC to provide this course.

You should attempt to wean yourselve to the lowest amount you can take without experiencing withdrawal effects (shakes, nausea ect.) then go to a medical detox to have medical staff monitor you for seizures, delirem tremons (DT's) and heart rate depending on the amount you normally drink and how long you've been drinking. Alcohol is the most dangerous of all substances to withdraw from and you need to be with some one who can give you drugs for blood pressure, anxiety and nausea, and to make sure your heart does not fliberate.

yes

It is a myth that alcohol is a gateway drug causing people to progress to marijuana, cocaine, etc.

The bottom line is yes, it is possible to die of acute alcohol poisoning, though it's not common. The majority of deaths from drinking that I'm familiar with that don't also involve driving have been people who got drunk and passed out outside in the winter (and subsequently died of exposure), or people who got drunk, passed out, vomited while passed out and then choked to death.

OK, I'm going to guess that you are her mother, first of all do not try to tell her what to do- teenagers hate that, secondly remind her that you love her and will be there for her always, let her know you only want to help her for her own good as she is you daughter and you love her very much.

If that fails allow her to drink in moderation, possibly take her out one day to eat and order her an alcoholic beverage to drink- she may love this as she may feel that you are treating her as an responsible adult and she may see what she is doing is not the way.

Please please please do not refer to it as her "problem", many teens do this sort of stuff for attention so try give it her, I dunno maybe take her to the movies or shopping- treat her as your equal which will give her a much needed confidence boost.

Get in touch with other parents who are going through the same thing or have done in the past and pick up tips from them and share your own, these parents may be available on the internet or local centre e.g. social centres.

Try not to dictate what she does but rather influence it slightly as any parent wishes for their child to stay on the right path and do good things. If all else fails get wasted with her one day and see what the outcome is, she may stop drinking or she may find a "drinking partner" in yourself which is also ideal as that allows you to be in control of any situation.

Good luck for the future and BTW I don't always right essays as answers i just wanted to help a parent out and BTW I'm only 18.

There is debate about whether or not alcoholism is a disease. A large number of physicians reject the disease theory of alcoholism and medicine has proven to be ineffective in treating the behavior.

Watch the Tv show Heris ♥(: let me know when you do !

negatively

Yes

How many days sober a person might be varies depending on his or her committment to sobriety. A person who has never had an issue with alcohol as an addiction might be sober for an entire lifetime.

No, because blood alcohol concentration (BAC) drops at the rate of about .015 per hour. For example, a very high BAC of .150 would be gone in 10 hours.

It takes years (typically decades) of heavy abusive drinking to cause any damage to the liver.

You can't they have to realize on their own volition that drinking is neither productive or healthy for them im sorry impeding on ones ability to drink interferes with free will which even God cannot super cede

Hypnosis can be used as a complementary approach in treating alcoholism by targeting underlying psychological issues or promoting behavior change. While there is some evidence supporting its effectiveness, it is typically used in conjunction with other treatments such as therapy and support groups for best results. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice on how hypnosis can be integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan.

It's been my experience that if you have 100 people, you'll wind up with 100 types of alcoholism. However, it is essential to understand that drinking alcohol is not synonomous with alcoholism. Only a small fraction of drinkers are alcoholics. When we're talking about behavior under the influence of intoxicants, we have to talk about brain chemistry. Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant and tends to impair judgment first before anything else. When people drink they generally do things they wouldn't had they not been drinking (loss of control) and you'll see over a period of time that people will exhibit various manifestations of behavior as a result of being affected by the chemicals they use.

When we talk about addiction we have to talk about craving - no craving, no addiction. If you look at someone who has a label of dependence, you'll generally find a change in personality...as alcohol first affects judgment, people generally don't have an idea that their behavior is inappropriate at the time.

Cocaine is a stimulant. You may, however, hear it referred to as a narcotic within the realm of law enforcement as umbrella terms such as "narcotic enforcement" are often used. Technically this is incorrect in the case of cocaine, as it does not contain an opioid or opiate.

This may largely result from the fact that AA teaches that an alcoholic cannot stop with one drink. Thus, this belief can create a self-fulfilling prophesy.

The liver is robust. It can heal without scarring after one or a few episodes of hepatitis that resolve without lingering. It can, moreover, regrow
