Relieving alcohol intoxication at home
One of the main reasons for emergency addiction care is poisoning with alcohol or its surrogates. Signs of a critical condition include physical and emotional symptoms such as withdrawal, clouded consciousness, auditory or visual hallucinations and aggression. In addition, withdrawal syndrome has the following symptoms:
- headaches and chest pain;
- muscle spasms;
- severe calf cramps;
- nausea or diarrhea;
- unexplained anxiety or panic attacks;
- fluctuating blood pressure;
- impaired limb coordination;
- disorientation;
- auditory and visual hallucinations;
- inappropriate behavior.
All these signs of delirium tremens can be caused not only by alcohol but also by drug intoxication. Calling a standard ambulance in such cases is of little use, since the crew often lacks special medications. Emergency addiction care is needed to stabilize the patient quickly.
To detoxify the body during alcohol withdrawal or a long binge, IV drips combined with antihistamines and plenty of sorbents are used successfully. The required dosage is calculated individually in each case, depending on the general condition of the alcohol- or drug-dependent patient. Sleeping medications are used for a calming effect and better sleep.
If a binge lasts no more than 2–3 days and the patient’s condition is not critical, the emergency addiction team can provide treatment at home. This approach can be considered one of the treatment methods, although its effectiveness is limited.
For a binge lasting more than seven days and a critical condition, medical care, further treatment and rehabilitation should be provided strictly in an inpatient setting. Timely specialized emergency care will save the patient’s life.
An addiction doctor can consult a patient who is ready to fight addiction but does not want to go to a state facility. In this case, the best solution is treatment at a private addiction clinic at a reasonable price.
