Alcohol withdrawal refers to symptoms that may occur when a person who has been drinking too much alcohol every day suddenly stops drinking alcohol.

Alcohol withdrawal usually occurs in adults, but it may occur in teenagers or children as well. It can occur when a person who uses alcohol excessively suddenly stops drinking alcohol. Withdrawal usually occurs within 5 – 10 hours after the last drink, but it may occur up to 7 – 10 days later.

Scottsdale MVD Screening

The average drunk driver has driven drunk 87 times before a first arrest. And on any given day, your family shares the roadways with more than 2 million drunk drivers who have had three or more prior convictions. While suspending the license of these individuals makes sense, in reality, three out of four of those with a suspended license still drive, threatening the safety of you and your loved ones. That is why MADD now supports the usage of ignition interlock devices, or in-car breathalyzers, which require all convicted drunk drivers to prove they are sober before the car will start.

Stonewall Institute provides complete drug and alcohol screenings to court ordered DUI individuals, and any other person in need of a substance abuse evaluation. To schedule your appointment call 602-535-6468.

When you drink and drive, you are putting yourself at risk. Many drink drivers are killed because of their poor driving skills. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, car wrecks are the leading cause of death for people in America who are under the age of 24, and about 40 percent of those deaths are somehow related to alcohol. Many of those in this statistic were the drivers or passengers of drunk drivers, and recent dui statistics are showing increasing trends.

Also what about dui arrest and punishment after all? Before you even notice, your financial and mental burden will increase dramatically. A DUI conviction could be a crucial time in your life because the DUI penalty may ruin your freedom in many ways. In addition, if you are convicted of DUI or DWI then you are required to carry SR22 car insurance for a certain period of time and the premium rate is higher than regular auto insurance policy because many companies will have to reconsider the liabilities of drivers with DUI records and thus dui insurance is not cheap in the end.

 If it is your dui first offense then you would need to attend required dui classes which will offer you alcohol treatment and accident prevention programs. If intoxicated, the chance of the having a DUI accident for any drivers will rise with their blood alcohol level. After you are convicted of driving under influence, then dui on your record will stay longer than you thought unless you file the petition for expungement. DUI expungment allows all records to be removed from your record.

Over the past twenty years or so, there have been numerous DUI laws passed related to drunk driving, and the legal age for drinking in all states is now 21 years of age. Underage drinking and driving accounts for a disproportionate number of alcohol related accidents and deaths. As a result, many states are responding with felony charges and extended jail time for offenders.

States are cracking down on drunk driving. DUI and DWI laws across the nation are becoming stricter and being enforced with greater diligence. Why is drunk driving such as big deal? What happens to your body when you drink that makes driving so dangerous?

Addiction is a primary, chronic, neurobiological disease, with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. It is characterized by behaviors that include one or more of the following: impaired control over drug use, compulsive use, continued use despite harm, and craving.

Physical dependence is a state of adaptation that is manifested by a drug class specific withdrawal syndrome that can be produced by abrupt cessation, rapid dose reduction, decreasing blood level of the drug, and/or administration of an antagonist.

Tolerance is the body’s physical adaptation to a drug: greater amounts of the drug are required over time to achieve the initial effect as the body “gets used to” and adapts to the intake.

Alcohol is created when grains, fruits, or vegetables are fermented, a process that uses yeast or bacteria to change the sugars in the food into alcohol. Alcohol has different forms and can be used as a cleaner or antiseptic; however the kind of alcohol that people drink is ethanol, which is a sedative. When alcohol is consumed, it’s absorbed into a person’s bloodstream. From there, it affects the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord), which controls virtually all body functions. Alcohol actually blocks some of the messages trying to get to the brain. This alters a person’s perceptions, emotions, movement, vision, and hearing.

Driving under the influence (DUI) is a term used by most states, for being legally intoxicated or impaired while operating a motor vehicle.

Each year, states enact stronger DUI laws and more severe drunk driving penalties. You could lose your driver’s license, be placed in jail and fined substantial fees. Your car insurance rates may rise and you could end up with a criminal conviction on your record that could impact your future and your employment opportunities.

Substance abuse is a blanket term that is used to describe dependence on alcohol, illegal drugs, as well as certain prescription drugs. The physical dependence, abuse of and withdrawal from drugs and alcohol is outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

For some people, it’s difficult to determine if there is a true addiction involved or if their drug and/or alcohol use is social. Everyone behaves slightly different in addiction. Answering the following questions may help to determine an addiction:

Has your use of drugs or alcohol increased over time?
When you stop using, have you ever experienced physical or emotional withdrawal? Have you had any of the following symptoms: irritability, anxiety, shakes, sweats, nausea, or vomiting?Do you sometimes use more or for a longer time than you would like? Does one drink lead to more drinks? Have you continued to use even though there have been negative consequences to your mood, self-esteem, health, job, or family?

If you have answered yes to any of these questions and want help, contact Stonewall Institute.  If you have recently been convicted of driving under the influence, you may schedule an alcohol evaluation or  DUI-Related Substance Abuse Evaluation through Stonewall Institute at 602-535-6468.
