How Does Alcohol Detox Work?
When a person has an alcohol use disorder (alcohol addiction), it’s because drinking alcohol has caused the production of certain chemicals in the brain to be altered, making it so the brain cannot function normally without alcohol in its system. The more you drink, the more changes occur in the brain, causing both physical and psychological alcohol dependence. This causes uncomfortable, painful, and even potentially deadly withdrawal symptoms to happen when you try to cut back or stop drinking. It can also cause you to crave alcohol when you’re not currently under its influence and make you feel compulsions to drink, even if you do not want to.
