Alcohol abuse and addiction is a rapidly growing problem in America. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), about 15 million adult US citizens were suffering from an Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) in 2013. Similarly, a survey conducted in 2015 found that about 27% of adults in the US engaged in binge drinking.
When it comes to seeking treatment for alcohol abuse, people have different needs. For people who have a habit of heavy drinking, their bodies gradually become dependent on alcohol intake. As a result, when they try to quit drinking they suffer from serious withdrawal effects. The symptoms of withdrawal can range from moderate to severe anxiety, elevated blood pressure, body aches, shakes, tremors and it may even prove to be life-threatening. Alcohol detox involves the removal of alcohol from the body after sudden cessation and is the first step towards stopping alcohol and drug misuse.
What Causes Alcohol Withdrawal?
Alcohol tends to have a depressive effect on the entire body, especially on the nervous system. When you have a habit of excessive alcohol intake, your body gradually starts to become dependent on it and stops the production of certain neurotransmitters. Because the body is always trying to keep homeostasis and maintain equilibrium in the system, it tries to balance the depressive effect of alcohol by releasing “stimulating” neurotransmitters. Therefore, when alcohol intake is suddenly stopped, the body remains in its stimulated states. This is what causes the withdrawal effect.

What Are the Symptoms of Alcohol Withdrawal?
Some of the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal syndrome include, but are not limited to:
- Anxiety
- Headache
- Nausea
- Elevated blood pressure and heartbeat
- Shaky limbs
- Sweating
- Insomnia
- Irritability
- Difficulty concentrate
Other serious effects of alcohol withdrawal include hallucinations and tremors. In rare cases, a possibly life-threatening condition called the Delirium Tremens (DT) may also be observed after about 3-4 days of last alcohol consumption. In this condition, severe hallucinations and delusions are observed. The good news is that only 5% of the individuals are affected with DT. Don’t worry, our medical professionals are fully trained in making you comfortable and taking care of your health issues during alcohol detoxification.
Alcohol Detoxification
While some people can recover from alcohol withdrawal by themselves, this not recommended. Detoxing from alcohol should always be done under medical supervision as the detox process is quite dangerous and the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal are very severe. At Springfield Wellness Center, we understand this. This is why we offer a medicated detox program in a calm and comfortable environment to help you get rid of your alcohol dependence.
How We Help You Get Better
Alcohol abuse depletes our brains of essential neurotransmitters which are important for its optimal functioning. At Springfield wellness center, we use a proprietary detoxification regimen called BR+NAD™ which not only replenishes these neurotransmitters and enzymes but also helps you get better quickly from alcohol withdrawal syndrome without discomfort.

When they put the IV in me, it was such an incredible state of wellbeing but with energy. In my adult life, I have never felt like that on my own. And then, Paula, Dr. Mestayer, and the nurses would say, "How is the craving?" I said, "I haven't had one inkling of a craving whatsoever." It vanished in 20 minutes of the first IV. So I'm telling you that it worked immediately!

The first two days were long but positive. The third day, he was like "I don't want pills anymore. I have no desire." And then day four, I could see his personality coming back. He's positive. He's himself. He's back. It's just amazing. Even more focused than before. More positive vibes. Just the energy is amazing. It works!

Day two, no more cravings. I could feel my attitude changing. I could feel myself looking towards the future: what I was going to do to resolve everything that I've been going through with relationships. Day three, the light came on and everything became so clear. Day four, I felt like I could really start reading. I started feeling like I could start focusing, again. Day 5, by that point, I felt like my spirit was new. Everything was new. From there, everything just went up!

I woke up the fourth morning, and everything was brighter. I had all my energy back. The biggest part with me is I don't have cravings anymore. It's more of a PTSD thing. One thing I had for seven years was nightmares every night. And now, after my third or fourth day treatment, my nightmares are gone. I come and get my boosters when I start losing sleep, and I'll be good for 28-30 days and start all over. It's been a lifesaver for me.

Addison
About 11 years ago, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. I met with several doctors, and they all said the same thing that it was irreversible and very very unsuccessful in treatment. It was being treated by a Physician, and he prescribed a whole bunch of medicine with little to no effects. I had tremors constantly. I tripped - unsteady on my feet. I couldn't eat with a fork; I had to eat with a spoon. I always saw images in my peripheral vision. I didn't get much sleep. So, I just about gave up. I met with Dr. Mestayer. He took down a medical history on me. I started receiving 1000 mg of NAD. Within an hour of the treatment, my tremors stopped almost immediately. I quit stumbling. I quit drooling at night. My peripheral vision was perfect; I saw no more images in my peripheral vision. It just makes you feel wonderful. You feel younger! It's remarkable.
