Kayla is a thirty-nine-year-old paralegal who has been consuming alcohol in a hazardous manner since she and her live-in boyfriend discontinued their relationship. In fact, for the past three months she has been drinking almost two bottles of wine every night, and on the weekends she also has been drinking more than a few shots all through the day. In short Kayla has been drinking so abusively and hazardously that it's amazing that she hasn't suffered from alcohol withdrawals when she tried to quit drinking.
After feeling discouraged because she was starting to forget about the importance of her health, Kayla at long last told herself that enough is enough, that it's time to stop the self pity routine, that it's time to quit the hazardous and abusive drinking, and time to get going with her life. So the next Saturday morning at 8:00 AM, she decided to stop drinking suddenly and completely without preparation or planning.
When she called her best friend and told her that she had quit drinking and that after a couple of hours she all of a sudden started to experience flu-like symptoms, Beth, her best friend, told Kayla to call her healthcare practitioner and explain in a clear manner what she was experiencing.
Her healthcare professional told her that she may be experiencing alcohol withdrawal symptoms and that she should have a relative or friend drive her to the emergency room as soon as possible. Apparently her healthcare practitioner had phoned ahead and told the emergency room personnel to expect Kayla because when she got to the hospital, she was met by two nurses who without hesitation asked her to lie down on the portable bed they had with them.
A doctor gave her some drugs to reduce the discomfort of her flu-like symptoms and also gave her some meds to help eliminate the alcohol that was still in her circulatory system. After an hour or two, Kayla was removed from the emergency room and transported to the recovery room.
After she was in recovery for nearly an hour, Doctor Arndt, an alcohol and drug abuse specialist, came to visit her. He took plenty of time and explained that Kayla had experienced alcohol withdrawal symptoms when she quit drinking due to the fact that she had become dependent on alcohol.
He then mentioned the fact that with continuous and heavy drinking, the individual's brain slowly adjusts to the alcohol in order to function in a "semi-normal" fashion. When the drinker then abruptly quits ingesting alcohol, it can be pointed out, the brain responds by producing alcohol withdrawal symptoms. What is more, her medical practitioner also explained the various alcoholism symptoms that an alcohol addicted person almost always experiences as the disease progresses.
Fortunately for Kayla, it was determined that she was in the earliest stage of alcohol addiction and, consequently, she was given a good projection for a full recovery if she obtains the alcohol treatment she needs.
Kayla told the healthcare practitioner that she will do whatever it takes to get sober and to regain her health. She also stated that she has a very comprehensive hospitalization insurance policy that will more likely than not pay for most of the treatment costs. It was obvious that Kayla was very happy with her optimistic prognosis and felt free from worry knowing that she will be able to get the alcohol dependency treatment she needs so that she can start on the path to recovery.
