Binge Drinking Withdrawal at Home in Odesa

How a binge is stopped at home

Alcohol intoxication or delirium tremens calls for a quick decision. The consequences can be extremely serious for everyone involved, including relatives and friends. In this state a person loses control over their words and actions. The Transformation Medical Center provides effective help in overcoming alcohol dependence. Confidentiality and anonymity are guaranteed.

How is a binge stopped?

1. Over the phone, the addiction doctor gives a free, anonymous consultation: asks about the details, identifies the problem and suggests possible solutions. The doctor tells you the cost of treatment, and you agree on the date, time and place of detox.
2. The doctor comes to the home and performs detoxification – medical cleansing of the body with an IV drip for binge drinking.
3. The doctor monitors the patient’s condition: if it improves, treatment continues; if not, the plan is adjusted.
4. In alcohol delirium (commonly called “delirium tremens” or “the DTs”, with hallucinations), aggressive behavior or psychosis, the doctor administers special medications that calm the nervous system.
5. The doctor makes sure the patient’s condition is stable.
6. The doctor suggests psychosocial rehabilitation, coding and other options, and recommends treatment methods for the patient.

First aid consists of intravenous administration of medications. The drip takes 3–4 hours. During this time most of the toxins are removed from the body and the patient’s general condition improves.

An IV drip may contain:

• Detox solution (glucose, saline, etc.);
• Sedatives;
• Sleeping aids;
• Vitamins (B group, C);
• Cardio- and hepatoprotectors;
• Nootropics;
• Antidepressants;
• Potassium-magnesium complex;
• Antiemetics;
• Antiepileptic drugs, etc.

Medications are selected based on an assessment of the patient’s symptoms and the situation. Our addiction doctor chooses the treatment plan individually. The wrong therapy can lead to serious consequences. Our clinic employs experienced doctors who will select the medication formula as precisely as possible and prevent such outcomes.

An IV drip is only the first step in treating a binge – emergency help. After detox, the next stages must follow, otherwise the binge will inevitably return, because the craving for alcohol remains. At the Transformation Medical Center, psychological dependence is treated only with the patient’s consent. Inpatient treatment has a positive effect on the patient’s condition.

Binge drinking withdrawal in a clinic (inpatient unit)

For people with pathological addictions, binge withdrawal should take place in a medical facility that provides professional care

Binge withdrawal is an important and responsible step, because it marks the beginning of recovery from alcohol dependence. Only qualified doctors can carry out the procedure properly.

Our specialists will help you achieve a positive and lasting result. Branches of the Transformation Medical Center are located in Odesa, Kropyvnytskyi and Dnipro. Experienced addiction doctors will select an effective method of bringing the patient out of a binge while constantly monitoring their condition. Thanks to the active work of our staff and an individual approach, positive results are guaranteed.

Inpatient binge withdrawal: methods

Truly effective professional help in stopping a binge can only be provided in an inpatient setting.

Effective treatment is based on cleansing the body of alcohol, restoring the internal organs and normalizing all body systems. A whole set of procedures has been developed for this purpose.

1. IV drip. Most patients admitted to the clinic suffer from severe alcohol intoxication. Help must be provided urgently, as hallucinations or a threat to life may occur. An IV drip with effective medications detoxifies the body, restores the electrolyte balance and reduces the symptoms of poisoning.
2. Nutrition and sleep. In most cases, alcohol-dependent patients stop eating properly, and their sleep is seriously disrupted. To restore vital body functions, the clinic’s specialists prescribe a special diet. Strict bed rest restores the sleep schedule and normalizes rest duration.
3. Psychological help. Giving up alcohol can lead to a serious psychological breakdown and depression in the early stages. Professional psychologists provide the necessary consultations to both patients and their relatives.
4. A comfortable atmosphere. For a person with alcohol dependence, it is important to create conditions that rule out stressful situations. It is also worth limiting or completely stopping contact with drinking friends to avoid losing the progress achieved.

In the inpatient unit, doctors also examine the patient and take tests. Based on the results, a recovery program is prescribed. As a rule, drug treatment aims to restore the liver, kidneys, heart and blood vessels, digestive tract and central nervous system, and to prevent blood clots.

What goes into an IV drip for alcohol intoxication

IV drips include the following medications:

1. Saline solutions (Reosorbilact, Sterofundin, etc.). They help bind toxins, dilate blood vessels and restore the water-electrolyte balance.
2. B vitamins (thiamine, cobalamin, pyridoxine, etc.). They support cell metabolism and have a sedative effect.
3. Vitamin C. Used as an antioxidant.
4. Hepatoprotectors (Riboxin, Heptral). They stimulate liver cell regeneration and protect against toxins.
5. Cardioprotectors (Mexidol). They prevent damage to heart muscle cells and protect it from irreversible pathological changes.
6. Potassium and magnesium (Panangin). They improve blood vessel condition, stimulate cell metabolism and support heart function.
7. Diuretics (Furosemide). They flush out toxins.
8. Glucose. Breaks down toxins and provides cellular nutrition to the organs.

Pills are of little use in treating a binge. They do not act immediately, and large doses cannot be given in this form because they trigger vomiting. A heavily intoxicated person simply cannot swallow them. That is why IV drips are used for detoxification.

Binge withdrawal: how to speed up recovery

An IV drip at home is not enough on its own – you need to work with the cause of the addiction, not just its consequences. Psychotherapy is the core of treating any addiction. Without inner resistance, it becomes possible to return to a normal life with ease.

Heavy drinking destroys a person completely – from the internal organs to brain function. The life of someone caught in this dependence is controlled by alcohol. Family relationships, work and social ties are inevitably lost. To avoid ruining their lives for good, patients turn to qualified specialists for help.

Professional binge withdrawal brings fairly quick results. After treatment the patient gives up alcohol, their well-being and mood improve, their outlook on life changes and critical thinking returns. The patient feels well, sleeps, eats and takes control of their life.
