The use of drugs causes irreparable harm to health and is a danger to life!
Binge - long-term (over a day) alcohol consumption, which is accompanied by significant intoxication. This phenomenon is typical for people with alcohol dependence. The amount of alcohol consumed during such periods does not have time to be excreted, the decay products of alcohol poison the body. A prolonged weekly binge is often accompanied by depressive conditions.
What is the difference between pseudo-binge and usual
The binge begins with a psychological and physical craving for alcohol. Long periods of alcohol consumption can also arise under the influence of external factors - holidays, salary payments, a tragic event. Doctors call this phenomenon pseudo-drinking.
Pseudo-binge usually lasts 7-10 days and ends in the same way as it began - under the influence of social changes. However, the harm done to the body by alcohol does not allow you to quickly get out of a weekly binge. It will take time and certain measures to restore vital signs.
How to get out of a 7-day binge
A short binge (4-5 days) can be defeated at home. It is important to cleanse the body of alcohol breakdown products.
- You should drink as much water as possible - at least one and a half liters. Vomiting and diarrhea are natural manifestations of the detoxification process. It is necessary to replenish the loss of fluid in such situations.
- If you drank for 5 days, an increased dose of vitamin C will help to cope with the effects of alcohol intoxication. It is recommended to take a five-fold daily dose (400-450 mg). You can add foods rich in ascorbic acid (lemon, kiwi, strawberries, cabbage) to the diet.
- Use pharmacy sorbents. Activated carbon should be taken at the rate of 1 tablet per 10 kg of weight. You can drink tablets based on charcoal, silicon or enterosorbents.
- It is important to stabilize sleep and restore the state of the nervous system. Of the sedatives, the usual valerian is recommended. It should be remembered that some drugs provoke a slowdown in reactions, drowsiness.
- In the next three days after a five-day binge, fatty and fried foods should be excluded from the diet. A damaged liver will not be able to handle these foods. Add boiled vegetables, rice, buckwheat to the menu.
Deadly dangerous!
The worst consequence is irreversible mental deterioration.
What to do in case of long-term binge
Binge drinking for a week or more is dangerous for a person from the point of view of various aspects. Often, having spent all the money on alcohol, the alcoholic begins to consume questionable drinks. In the course is, as they say, "everything that burns. "The danger of poisoning with unknown chemistry increases significantly.
Ultimately, the body stops taking alcohol and any other foods. During this period, the alcoholic has vomiting, high blood pressure, tachycardia. The victim practically does not sleep, but rather falls into alcoholic faints with vivid visions.
It is this turning point that pushes drunks to seek help.
Inpatient treatment
The best way to get out of a two-week binge is to go to the clinic. An individual treatment schedule is prescribed by the doctor after examining the patient. It is important to take into account the general condition of the body, the presence of chronic diseases, the degree of alcohol poisoning. Droppers are the most effective cleaning method. The solution allows you to wash traces of poisoning from the blood. The necessary drugs are administered intravenously.
Potent sedatives are used. The purpose of using sedatives is to normalize the mental state, stop panic attacks, and restore sleep. The dosage and schedule of admission is determined exclusively by the attending physician.
General strengthening therapy is aimed at restoring the functions of the liver, gastrointestinal tract, immunity. Based on the state of the body, a course of vitamins, hepatoprotectors, etc. is prescribed. Rest and less physical activity have a positive effect on recovery. Inpatient treatment takes three to seven days.
House call
In order to avoid publicity and not be registered with drug addiction, many alcoholics prefer to call the brigade at home. The detoxification methods in this case are the same. It is necessary to cleanse the blood with a dropper, restore the general condition of the body.
To defeat a two-week binge at home, contact only trusted specialists. Often, the intervention of unskilled personnel leads to a deterioration in the condition. Pseudo-medics, whose services are paid for at an inflated price, often do not leave information about the drugs administered to the victim. Therefore, there is a high risk of getting into intensive care.
Conclusion from hard drinking by reducing dosage
If qualified medical care is not available for any reason, there is no choice but to get out of the binge on your own.
It is necessary to reduce the amount of alcohol consumed to 20-30 grams, increasing the interval between doses. Experts advise using good quality vodka. You definitely need a snack. Usually, by this time, the alcoholic's body does not accept fatty foods, you can limit yourself to vegetables. Vegetable purees, such as potatoes, work well. It is important not to let the ward drink an alcoholic drink.
It should be continued until the alcoholic starts to feel sleepy. Do not resume alcohol intake after sleep. For the next 2-3 days, you need to pay attention to the restoration of the body, to establish sleep and strengthen the nervous system. Use valerian, a sedative herbal for this. Some people use nootropics - even an ordinary mild sedative, of which there are many in the public domain, will do. Available pharmaceutical preparations will help restore the liver.
Is it possible to abruptly get out of the binge
The method of abruptly refusing alcohol in case of severe intoxication remains controversial. Doctors talk about the stress experienced by the body in this case. The presence of chronic diseases and diseases in the exacerbation stage excludes this method.
The first effects of this method are felt within a couple of hours after giving up alcohol. The remains of alcohol in the blood break down, and breakdowns, repeated vomiting begin. By this time, there was nothing left in the stomach of the alcoholic, the vomit was a mixture of bile and gastric juice (a translucent liquid from yellow to marshy green). It is necessary to drink up to one and a half liters of boiled water for enhanced stomach cleansing.
A person begins to tremor and dizziness, coordination is impaired. Walking at such moments is almost impossible. It is difficult for him to even get to the toilet. Lying in this state is not recommended; it is better to choose a sitting position.
After 3-4 hours of torment, slight relief comes. You can drink water, cool unsweetened tea. You should not take on breakable dishes, it is better to use metal or plastic devices, it is recommended to drink through a straw.
As soon as vomiting recedes, you need to take a sorbent. Among the popular drugs, activated carbon and others. One of the available remedies is 1/2 spoonful of plain baking soda. The powder should be washed down with water or tea. After that, do not use any medications for 1. 5-2 hours.
The first day after abrupt withdrawal of alcohol, weakness, nausea, tremor persist. The psychological state is gradually improving. Vivid manifestations of emotions can be observed: laughter, tears. Sleep usually does not occur.
