Kayla is a thirty-nine-year-old legal assistant who has been consuming alcohol quite extensively since her live-in boyfriend and she decided to discontinue their relationship. In point of fact, for the past five months she has been drinking nearly one-and-a-half bottles of wine every night, and on the weekends she also has been drinking more than a few shots during the day. In short Kayla has been drinking so hazardously and excessively that it's a miracle that she hasn't suffered from alcohol withdrawals when she tried to stop drinking.
After feeling dispirited because she was starting to neglect her health, Kayla at long last told herself that enough is enough, that it's time to quit feeling sorry for herself, that it's time to quit the irresponsible and excessive drinking, and time to make a new start with her life. So the following Saturday morning at 8:30 AM, she made up her mind to stop drinking suddenly and completely without preparation or planning.
When she called her best friend and informed her that she had quit drinking and that after a couple of hours she without any warning began having flu-like symptoms, Patricia, her best buddy, told Kayla to call her medical doctor and explain in a clear manner what she was experiencing.
Her healthcare practitioner told her that she may be experiencing alcohol withdrawal symptoms and that she should have a neighbor or relative take her to the emergency room as soon as possible. It appears that her family doctor had phoned ahead and told the emergency room medical team to expect Kayla because when she got to the hospital, she was met by a nurse and a paramedic who without hesitation asked her to sit down in the wheelchair they had with them.
A healthcare professional gave her some meds 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 bloodstream. After two or three hours, Kayla was transferred from the emergency room and transported to the recovery room.
After she was in recovery for nearly an hour, Doctor Manning, an alcohol addiction specialist, came to visit her. He took quite a bit of time and explained in laymen's language 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 repeated and excessive drinking, the individual's brain little by little gets acclimated to the alcohol in order to process things in a "routine" fashion. When the drinker then all of a sudden stops drinking alcohol, as one would expect, the brain takes action by generating alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Not only this, but her medical practitioner also explained the different alcoholism symptoms that an alcohol dependent person regularly suffers through as the disease gets progressively worse over time.
Fortunately for Kayla, it was discovered that she was in the earliest stage of alcohol dependency and, consequently, she was given a favorable prognosis for a full recovery if she receives the alcohol addiction rehab she needs.
Kayla told the medical practitioner that she will do whatever it takes to get sober and to regain her health. She also stated that she has an excellent hospitalization insurance policy that will almost certainly pay for most of the costs needed for rehabilitation. It was apparent that Kayla was very happy with her optimistic prognosis and felt free from anxiety knowing that she will be able to get the alcohol addiction rehab she needs so that she can start on the path to recovery.
