Negative Effects of Alcohol Abuse – Internal Organs of the Body

Alcohol abuse is harmful to physical health and causes many negative changes in the entire being. The consequences are destructive and are irreversible and just a small number of people actually contemplate about it, until the first signs of damage appear. Although everybody feels self-destructive sometimes, alcohol abuse is something that cannot be justified, because it simply kills - it slowly kills.

Alcohol abuse has negative effects on the whole physical system and it is important to know what illnesses are associated to it so that every individual becomes aware of it and will become motivated to quit and stay away from any addictive substance.

Effects of Alcohol on the Brain

Alcohol abuse affects brain chemistry in an unbelievable way. It creates a dreamlike state in which the person is not conscious of one’s thoughts, decisions and behavior. It kills brain cells and eventually, the addicted person feels physically ill, exhausted and depressed. We must understand that alcohol is a depressant, causing you to feel depress every time you consume it.

When alcohol reaches the brain, it has a powerful influence on certain receptors - the GABA and glutamate system of the brain. GABA-A receptors and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors, during complex processes in the brain, are stimulated by alcohol, causing the person under the influence to feel sedated, thus putting him in a relaxed state. In chronic alcohol abuse, these neurons eventually become dependent on alcohol and cannot properly function without it, or lack of it.When alcohol is consumed, dopamine is released in the brain, causing pleasurable sensations whereas quitting causes the decrease of dopamine levels, which leads to extreme withdrawal symptoms.

Another transmitter, serotonin, is important in creating sensations of pleasure. It functions similarly to dopamine. In chronic use of alcohol, there is an increase in serotonin activity and as a result, when alcohol is discontinued, withdrawal symptoms also manifest.

Alcohol Intoxication and Brain Damage

Alcohol intoxication is characterized by changes in thought process, impaired judgment, slurred speech, mood changes, loss of control and motor coordination impairment. During intoxication, seizures may occur. Alcohol intoxication delirium episodes occur after long and continuous period of drinking and are followed by changes in consciousness, inability to concentrate or focus attention, disorientation, speech disturbance, memory impairment.

Seizures in the brain is characterized by auditory, visual or tactile hallucinations, sweating, tremor, fever and changes in consciousness. Chronic use of alcohol can also lead to other serious brain damages such as Wernicke’s Encephalopathy, Korsakoff Syndrome and persisting Dementia.

Negative Effects of Alcohol Abuse on the Liver

The liver is one of the many organs that are affected by the abuse of alcohol. It is an internal organ that has many functions in our body, such as detoxification, hormone production, storage of vitamins, protein synthesis and others. Moreover, it produces bile that helps the small intestines to function properly. It cleans the blood and is one of the organs that is responsible for our whole immune system. When a person consumes alcohol excessively, the liver starts to deteriorate. The first manifestation is the liver enlargement, then the fatty liver, which is diagnosed in 90 percent of all alcoholics. In this stage, the liver may be able to regenerate, but if the liver is constantly overloaded by alcohol, it can lead to alcoholic hepatitis. Alcoholic hepatitis can be acute and chronic and it is accompanied with jaundice, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea and vomiting.

The most dangerous of all liver diseases is cirrhosis, in which the liver cells are dramatically deteriorating manifested with scar tissues and lumps. The consequences create irreparable harm or damage . These cause fluid retention in the stomach, moreover, the blood cannot flow properly which can lead to life-threatening hemorrhage.

Another harmful effect of alcohol abuse is that the liver cannot neutralize toxic substances, causing confusion, short-term memory loss, disrupted logical thinking, loss of consciousness and ultimately comatose. This is called hepatic encephalopathy. Unfortunately, symptoms only show when it is already in a full blown state.

Harmful Effects of Alcohol Abuse on the Pancreas and the Stomach

Another organ that is affected by alcohol dependence is pancreas, an organ that produces insulin and a liquid that helps the body to digest food. The inflammation of pancreas can be acute or chronic. In the acute phase, the gland releases enzymes and as a result, the gland starts to digest itself. In the chronic phase, people suffer from abdominal pain, exhaustion, vomiting, nausea, weight loss and jaundice. Because of the insulin deficiency, it also causes diabetes. Vitamin deficiency is common to people abusing alcohol, especially B vitamins and Ascorbic Acid which can lead to anemia caused by folate deficiency, inflammation of the tongue, inflammation of the mouth, caries and gum disease that can be followed by the loss of teeth.

In the stomach, alcohol increases gastric secretion causing inflammation of the mucous membrane and gastritis. Acute gastritis is characterized by vomiting, pain, weight loss and in some cases, bleeding.
Negative changes in the small intestine also occur - alcohol damages mucous membrane thus compromising the absorption of nutrients, leading to malnutrition and susceptibility to all kinds of toxins, which can lead to liver disease.

Effects to Your Cardiovascular and Endocrine system of Regular Excessive Alcohol Intake

Another negative effect of alcohol abuse is a heart muscle disease called cardiomyopathy. Alcoholic cardiomyopathy symptoms are shortness of breath, fatigue, arrhythmia, and often leads to embolism. In order to recover, a person must abstain from alcohol.

Hypertension is a manifestation of the heart disease, which also occurs when a person excessively consume alcohol. But it also elevates blood pressure even in moderate alcohol intake. Twenty to forty percent of all alcoholics suffer from the condition called polyneuropathy, which is inflammation of peripheral nerves usually affecting the legs and feet. A person with this condition experiences excruciating pains, cramps which progresses to numbness, affecting reflexes. Abstinence and physical therapy can partially improve the condition. Alcoholic myopathy can be acute or chronic and it represents a serious illness that manifests itself by muscle tissue breakdown.

As for the endocrine system, alcohol has harmful effects on testicular functions causing low levels of testosterone, followed by the decreased in libido and low sperm count. Alcohol changes thyroid functions by reducing thyroxine and then activates hypothalamic-pituitary axis which elevates the levels of certain stress hormones, causing depressions and anxiety.

Mothers that drink alcohol during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, damage their baby’s health, thus, the baby may be born with facial abnormalities, brain damage and mental retardation. Excessive alcohol intake also increases the risk of stomach and liver cancer, oral cavity cancer, breast and ovarian cancer among women.

Life after Rehab – Sample of Aftercare Program in the Philippines

Examples of Aftercare Programs for Recovering Addicts

When a person exits rehab, he finds himself back in a world where he is no longer surrounded by a safe structure and generally supportive people. Instead, he may find himself back in social circles where acquaintances have no qualms about using prohibited substances. Or he may find himself invited to birthday parties and social gatherings where alcohol is the social lubricant of choice. The outside world is full of temptation and there are a scarily large number of opportunities to relapse. This environment is one where every additional form of support in the effort to stay clean will be very much appreciated.

Approach and Support System

Life after rehab in the Philippines at least offers the possibility of supportive family life and family members. It would be generally frowned upon if family members were found to be avoiding their responsibility to support one of their members. That said, there is no guarantee of this, and sometimes even relatives who mean well can be more of a hindrance than a help. Sometimes even Filipinos find life management after rehab to be a lonely and alienating process when he or she returns home. This is one reason there are aftercare programs in the Philippines, which are designed to help lighten the load on the individual.

There is a wide variety when it comes to these programs in the country. Some programs approach the issue of rehabilitation from a more religious angle. For example, there is an institution called the Set Free Center, which has a facility in Antipolo City, just outside of Metro Manila. The Center focuses on male individuals who have had substance abuse issues with illegal drugs and similar substances. It offers clients a long term program, 12 to 15 months long. This program is carried out with the objective of creating a Christian community around the individual, including study of the Bible and other similar activities.

For its aftercare program, the center allows clients to transfer to a separate building, where they are allowed to live relatively independently. This independence means that the clients may resume their academic activities if they were previously students, or they may resume working if they possess gainful employment. The idea here is that the clients will go back to a life which is more or less similar to what they would experience on the outside, except that they come home to a place which offers a reassuringly supportive environment.

Other organizations offer a somewhat more secular experience. For example, the Mararahay Ka Rehab and Treatment Facility (MKRTF), which is located in Baguio City, bases its program more around the 12 step principles of Alcoholics Anonymous, though it also draws on the field of psychology. It works with persons to help them leave behind problems with addiction to drugs, alcohol or gambling. With regard to its aftercare program, MKRTF explicitly makes it a goal, not just to assist people with their substance abuse problems, but also to provide them with the education and training necessary so that they can themselves provide counseling to other people, who are suffering what they went through. There is a pay it forward concept behind this effort, aimed at multiplying the beneficial effects of their activities beyond the principal attendees.

These are just some of the many aftercare programs in the Philippines. There are others. While they may have their differences when it comes to approach, they share the common thread of helping people continue to move beyond their addictions, even after the formal rehab process has ended. Life after rehab in the Philippines need not be a lonely journey. While a supportive family life and structure will work wonders, there are also organizations such as the ones mentioned above, which aim to help with life management after rehab.

Life After Rehab - Fears and Worries

Dealing with Fears and Worries in Life After Alcohol or Drug Rehab

Substance abuse has a way of undermining and destroying the foundation of a person's life. It can wreck relationships, cause the loss of gainful employment, result in criminal behavior, and many other serious problems. Finding a way out of this situation can very well mean the difference between life or death. So when a person is able to make his or her way into rehab, and is able to find a way to detoxify and stay clean, this is a cause for celebration.

That said, the strength of a good rehab program is that it gives the person the structure needed in order to break the cycle of addiction. As a corollary to this benefit, there is the very real fear of the person that once he moves out of the rehab center and reenters the outside world, seemingly insurmountable obstacles and problems will face him.

This is true wherever there is substance abuse and rehabilitation. The same fear is felt by those who are looking ahead to life after rehab in the Philippines. This is a country where there is an expectation that family life and family members should create a supportive environment to receive a person after rehab. However, even if relatives and friends are generally supportive of a person, there will still be some real and serious fears regarding life management after rehab. Aftercare programs in the Philippines may also help to alleviate some of these concerns, but they will still be there and they will need to be dealt with.

Careers and Jobs

One key fear is the fear of losing employment or of the inability to find gainful employment once more. Keep in mind that the Philippines is a country where it may be difficult to find a good job in the first place. Healthcare is also not completely covered by the government insurance program, so many people look to their employers for health plans in order to cover their health care needs. However, substance abuse may have led the person to perform poorly at work. In some situations, abuse may have led to criminal conduct which is something that the person may have to deal with, when seeking new employment. Even if the person has truly changed, it may be difficult to convince a new employer of this fact.

There is no easy way to deal with this fear. Since Philippine society puts much emphasis on family life, it may be possible to ask for help from supportive relatives, in order to regain a foothold in relation to employment. Once a person is able to point to a track record of consistently good work post-rehab, this fact may be of help when it comes to applying for another position.

Another possibility involves aftercare programs in the Philippines which include a work component. For example, there is a non-governmental organization called SELF, short for Self Enhancement for Life Foundation, which has facilities in Alabang, Muntinlupa City and Talisay, Batangas. This organization, in certain cases, provides job opportunities to its clients. Again, there is no easy answer to this fear. However, with time as well as consistent performance, it is indeed possible to move beyond past problematic behavior.

Interpersonal Relationships

Another major fear involves damage done to relationships. This may involve the person's partner, parents, siblings, children or friends. Philippine culture places much importance on a person's interpersonal relationships, especially with family members.

However, the substance abuse problem could have caused the person to act in a way which deeply hurt the people around him. Addressing this fear will also require much time, and consistent effort. The person will need to be able to show that he has truly changed. Over time, the hope is that his new attitude and new way of acting will serve to convince people that he is indeed a person who is back in control of his life.

There are many real fears for life after rehab in the Philippines. Any attempt to plan out life management after rehab will have to take note of these fears and find ways to address them, or at least alleviate them. There may be no easy fixes, but over time and with the right attitude, things will get better.

Life After Rehab - The Role of the Family

Family Life After Rehab in the Philippines

For the person who has had a problem with substance abuse, whether this involves drugs, alcohol or some other addiction, making it through the rehab process is only part of the battle.

What happens next is just as important. This is because the person comes out of the rehab institution and finds himself back at home, with its potential lack of structure and lack of rules. If the person is not careful, he might find himself back in the place where he was before the rehab. So it is vital that his or her efforts to stay off the substance are supported, even at home.

This is why it is important to study and consider carefully life after rehab in the Philippines. The person should actively take steps to make it less likely for him to resume substance abuse. Family life is crucial when it comes to this particular area.

If the person has family members who have some knowledge about his past problems, and who are in full support of his efforts to stay clean, this can make a huge difference. There are a number of tips that the person should keep in mind during life management after rehab. These take on even greater importance, depending on whether the person will also be taking advantage of existing aftercare programs in the Philippines, or will decide to go it on his own.

Family Support System Is Important

First of all, it would be advisable for the person to involve as many supportive family members as possible in the continuing process to stay clean. It can be very helpful if family members and friends are aware that the person has had some difficulties with a particular substance.

For example, if the person has had problems dealing with alcohol addiction, members of his family can make sure to avoid serving alcoholic beverages at social gatherings and parties, or at the very least, they should offer many other options aside from alcohol. Family members can even choose to refrain from drinking alcohol themselves, so that the person will always have a companion or two who are not drinking wine or beer.

Of course, it is easier said than done to draw family members in. The person may not want to open up about the problem to parents or siblings. There may be privacy issues at play. In the end, some balancing will have to take place. However, the more people that can be brought in as allies to the cause, the more assistance the person will have in his endeavor to prevent a relapse.

Awareness Program for Family Members

Another thing to be done is to educate family members as much as possible regarding what addiction is like and what can be done to be supportive. Unfortunately, there are many myths or misconceptions that people have about substance abuse. There may also be existing prejudices or even antagonism toward someone who has had substance abuse problems. Even when people mean well, if they don't know what they are doing, they can make the situation worse or more difficult.

So there is a need to sit down with family members and have a thorough and comprehensive discussion about what they can expect and what is expected of them. As much as possible, if this discussion can be done with someone from the rehab center present, or a medical professional with relevant knowledge, or some other subject matter expert, that would be ideal.

These are just two of the basic things that can be done when it comes to making adjustments to family life after rehab in the Philippines. One of the potential advantages of family life in the Philippines is that it is generally strong, and people are generally expected to be of help to family members. Even though life management after rehab will be a difficult and long process, it can be made less painful or unpleasant if you know that you are surrounded by allies and supportive persons.

While there are aftercare programs in the Philippines designed to help people after rehab, the benefits of a supportive family cannot be overemphasized.

Individuals who don't have the control to cope up with daily pressures on their own may turn themselves into substance abuse to find relief and consolations.

The NEED for Rehabilitation

A rehabilitation center focuses on providing complete medical treatments for substance abusers, especially for those patients who need to overcome their withdrawal symptoms, while encouraging the person’s friends and family members to provide their full support.

In general, family involvement is considered a vital component in a successful recovery of an alcoholic or drug dependent. If a person realizes he has his immediate family on his side that he can really rely on, he will become eager and determine to keep fighting.

Most drug and alcohol rehab centers in the Philippines implement personalized treatments for each patient. As mentioned above, each person has a different condition that requires special attention. Those individuals who have extreme addiction need a more advance and sophisticated treatment than those substance abusers dealing with only minor problems. The more serious condition an individual is experiencing, the longer the duration of the treatment is required.

Entering an Addiction Treatment Facility

Once a willing individual enters an addiction treatment facility, he will first undergo initial medical examination that involves physical and psychological check-up. Each person has a different condition – the level of addiction, the effect on the behavior, the emotional issues accumulated during the abuse, and the social relation to the environment where he is in. These factors contribute to the need of a personalized treatment for each patient. This term is usually expressed as “tailored programs” for drug and alcohol dependents. Medical examinations are conducted to understand the “real score” and to choose which tailored program should be given to that individual. Withdrawal symptoms are then acknowledged and addressed by means of medications.

Each patient in any alcohol and drug rehab center in the Philippines is given the required personalized treatment by undergoing an assessment process by which complete physical, psychological and emotional examinations are conducted. Furthermore, the results of these preliminary examinations are then handed down to the resident doctors and medical staff for a careful study and evaluation. After a careful psychoanalysis and assessment, an outlined plan is then introduced to the patient cautiously monitored by a psychiatrist, psychologist, and therapist. Withdrawal symptoms are prioritized and are addressed by giving appropriate medical treatments and procedures.

Aftercare Programs

Many rehab centers in the country also provide aftercare programs, where monitoring and supervision is conducted once the patient has finished the rehab program in the institution. This is to ensure a long-lasting and continuous recovery. Reformed drug addicts and alcoholics need constant reminders and continuous support in order to prevent them from coming back into their old way of living.
