Lindsey Lohan In Need of Help For Alcohol Addiction

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

It is clear to anyone that reads about Lindsey Lohan that she is in serious need of help for her alcohol addiction. However, this week her SCRAM bracelet went off, indicating that she had consumed alcohol. This goes directly against the judge’s order to abstain from all alcohol. Perhaps the biggest indication that Lindsey has an alcohol problem is that she continuously puts herself in positions where alcohol is available. She cannot stay away.

For people that are addicted to alcohol they are being sent a very wrong message, that drinking is ok and that it is easily explained away. This is extremely far from the truth. Alcohol is actually one of the most dangerous drugs a person can get addicted to. Along with methadone and benzos addiction(Xanax, Valium and Klonipin) the withdrawals from alcohol are the most life threatening.

Some of the withdrawals from alcohol include seizures, shaking, hallucinations, high blood pressure, insomnia, anger and depression. Often times a person has to be hospitalized to ensure that they will safely come off the alcohol.

The only real way to handle an alcohol addiction is to enroll in a drug and alcohol rehab. If you or anyone you know is in need of help for a substance abuse problem please call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650 for more information.
