Intravenous NAD+ therapy has shown to have a 90 percent success rate at reducing the withdrawal symptoms and cravings during Alcohol Detox.
When Should You Think About Joining an Alcohol Detox Center?
Overconsumption of alcohol leads to a buildup of toxins in the brain cells. As this occurs, a crucial cellular component called NAD+ diminishes. This reduction can result in various physical, mental, and behavioral challenges.
To ascertain the right treatment level for yourself or someone close, it’s essential to recognize the evident signs of alcohol misuse. Some red flags of addiction are an inability to quit drinking despite wanting to, memory blackouts, withdrawal symptoms, solitary drinking, irritability, mood fluctuations, and depression, among others.
If someone consistently shows one or more of these signs, it’s advisable to consult a medical expert. Notably, friends or relatives often first notice alcohol misuse symptoms. If such behaviors raise concerns, contemplating treatment at an alcohol detox facility might be the next step.
Understanding the Role of an Alcohol Detox Facility
Alcohol addiction is not just a challenge because of its widespread availability but also due to the profound impact it has on the brain’s structure. This makes the journey to sobriety a tough one. The brain, after prolonged exposure to alcohol, adjusts its chemistry, leading to increased tolerance and dependence. So when someone abruptly stops alcohol consumption, they often face a series of withdrawal symptoms. These can vary from mild discomfort to life-threatening issues, encompassing:
Without adequate support, some may be tempted to revert to alcohol consumption, trying to alleviate these symptoms. Yet, this can be a perilous decision. In many cases, people might consume excessive amounts to quickly counteract withdrawal effects. This can result in alcohol overdose, which can be fatal if not addressed promptly.
An alcohol detox facility helps in these situations. We provide a safe, controlled environment where individuals can undergo detoxification under medical supervision. At our detox facility, you’re never alone. We constantly monitor your health, ready to offer medical intervention if required. We prove NAD+ treatment to help manage and reduce the severity of withdrawal symptoms, ensuring you’re on a progressive path to recovery.
Intravenous NAD+ therapy has shown to have a 90 percent success rate at reducing the withdrawal symptoms and cravings during Alcohol Detox.
Furthermore, over 90 percent of these patients remained sober for at least 12 months and 20 months. A statistic like this is impressive when compared to the conventional methods of detoxification and rehabilitation.
Effects of Alcohol
The short term effects of alcohol are very different from the long term effects, mostly due to your body and brain trying to adjust to the changes alcohol induces. Your brain has a delicate balance of hormones and neurotransmitters, especially the neurotransmitters that ‘excite’ or ‘inhibit’ neurons.
Alcohol increases inhibitory neurotransmitters, such as gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA), known for its sedative effects. At the same time, excitatory neurotransmitters, such as glutamate, are reduced. This explains why most people feel more relaxed after a drink.
Long Term
Over time with consistent and chronic consumption of alcohol, the body will try to rebalance itself by reducing the amount of GABA receptors in the brain and increasing N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, the excitatory neurotransmitter receptors. The problem begins when someone stops drinking and these receptors become overactive. These cells become excitotoxic and the individual may be prone to seizures and brain cell damage.
Any time alcohol is consumed, the brain produces more dopamine, another neurotransmitter that plays an essential role in motivation.
There is a region within the brain that regulates our addictive behavior, known as the nucleus accumbens. Dopamine acts as a ‘reward signal’ to the region, which reinforces a behavior. Thus, increased levels of dopamine around the nucleus accumbens reinforces the desire to drink more alcohol.
NAD+ and Alcohol Metabolism
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), a vitamin B coenzyme, is required to metabolize alcohol. More specifically, NAD+ is reduced to NADH by the enzyme (ALDH) to convert ethanol into acetaldehyde, which is further reduced to acetate in the mitochondria with the help of NAD+. The increased ratio of NADH/NAD+ interferes with mitochondrial activity, which can lead to the development of ketoacidosis and alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
The liver metabolizes the majority of ingested alcohol and is subjected to the majority of damage from alcohol. Alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD) is caused by chronic alcohol consumption in which toxic byproducts of alcohol metabolism cause damage to liver cells. This is only the first step of even worse alcohol-related liver diseases. Over time and without treatment, it may escalate into cirrhosis.
Alcohol and Epigenetics
Many are unaware that alcohol can alter your epigenetics, or the expression of certain genes. A key enzyme studied by Harvard University, known as sirtuin 1, has the ability to turn on and off certain genes related to aging and cellular repair. Sirtuins rely on NAD+ as a coenzyme in order to be activated. Depleted levels of NAD+ limit the ability of sirtuins to regulate gene expression, thus accelerating cellular aging and preventing repair from damage
