Effects of Alcohol on Your Body

November 22
62 Likes

Alcohol is distributed around your body by your blood as you drink. Even a small amount can have a physiological effect. You’ll lose a small amount of alcohol as it leaves your body in your breath and urine. However, your tolerance will depend heavily on how much you’ve had to eat. Food that is high in fat slows down the absorption of alcohol into your bloodstream, and it will take longer to feel intoxicated. However, there are other, more damaging effects of alcohol on your overall health to take into consideration. Detoxing from alcohol abuse is tough, but we here at Capo Canyon Recovery can help. After you learn the adverse effects that alcohol can have on your body, we believe that you’ll want to begin your process of recovery today.

At Capo Canyon Recovery, we are committed to the long-term recovery of every client. We provide a range of holistic therapies at our luxurious San Juan Capistrano, CA facility. We are also proud to offer a range of services and treatments at our alcohol addiction treatment center. To learn more about our drug and alcohol detox services and other treatment options, please contact Capo Canyon today at 833.972.2330. 

The Effect of Alcohol on the Excretory System

Too much alcohol can cause your pancreas to have severely reduced function, which results in inflammation and a condition known as pancreatitis. The symptoms include severe abdominal pain, and the condition can destroy the organ altogether. Alcohol abuse is one of the most common reasons for a pancreatitis diagnosis.

Liver damage is another common effect of alcohol addiction, and continued use can prevent the liver from performing its function of breaking down harmful substances, including alcohol. Jaundice can develop as a result of alcoholic hepatitis caused by excessive alcohol abuse. In addition, if the liver becomes inflamed, it can lead to cirrhosis.

How Alcohol Affects your Behavior and Central Nervous System

A change in your behavior is often one of the first signs of alcohol in your system. You’ll notice losing the ability to speak clearly, and you’ll feel wobbly on your feet. This feeling is one of the tell-tale signs of intoxication. As you drink, alcohol will be traveling throughout your body in your bloodstream, reaching your brain and central nervous system and causing the dizzying effect of being drunk.

Drinking to excess on a regular basis will be detrimental to your ability to think clearly. Furthermore, over time the brain cells in your frontal lobes will be destroyed, which in severe cases can progress to early-onset dementia and other permanent brain deterioration.

The Importance of Seeking Treatment

Whether you’ve been abusing alcohol for a short time or for years, finding treatment is vital. One of the first steps in the recovery process is detox. A drug and alcohol detox center will provide support and accountability as you start on the recovery path to recovery. At our detox center, we provide a variety of therapeutic options to support our clients throughout this process, including:

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy
  • Dialectical behavior therapy
  • Group therapy
  • Individual therapy

In addition, you’ll have access to our therapy dog, who can help provide encouragement during this trying time.
