What shot (injection) is given to recovering alcoholics to help them during their recovery?

Prescription treatments in detoxification centers may begin with an injection of vitamin B1 in cases that involve malnutrition. In treating severe acute withdrawal symptoms, a nervous system depressant, such as the benzodiazepines such as diazepam (Valium) and lorazepam (Ativan), is prescribed with a dosage that is tapered down over three to five days. The beta-adrenergic blocking drugs atenolol (Tenormin) and propranolol (Inderal) are also occasionally used.

Water is the only true cure for a hangover as a hangover is nothing more than your body being severly dehyrated from the alcohol.

Being an Alcoholic, I would have to say Booze, But if I ever go back out again, I would definitely consider Prescription Drugs!  Always keeping my options open, LOL!  Good Luck with that!

have you tried ALANON?....it's a program, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, that helps those who have a problem with family members or friends.  Do this quickly...I'm an alcoholic and I know the pain you're going through.

You don't. From what little you have said you have an ALcoholic for a mate. You CANNOT help him unless he wants help. But there are organizations you can call for help, like al-anon. As for him, he must be willing to step up to the plate and take responsibilities for his actions. This will be a starting point. It will take time. But unless and this is unless he is willing to step up to the plate there isn't one thing you will be able to do to help him.

Only if he or she understands that it's just a beverage, not medicine.  I know recovering alcoholics who drink non-alcoholic beer at parties but don't buy it for home consumption.  The bigger question is should someone who needs to stay away from drugs or alcohol even be at a party where both are available?\n\nDrinking non-alcoholic beer shouldn't make an alcoholic have a relapse, but it's probably not the best substitute available.

Antabuse.\n\n"Disulfiram (Antabuse) produces a sensitivity to alcohol which results in a highly unpleasant reaction when the patient under treatment ingests even small amounts of alcohol."\n\nhttp://healthyplace.com/medications/disulfiram.htm

soak a wash rag or hand towel in vodka, chill the cloth then apply to burned area.  Doesn't hurt to take a shot or two or vodka either!  JUST KIDDING.....this is an old treatment but really does help.

alanon is for the family members of alcoholics.  they could help you.  but i believe there is also a group called narcanon for family members of drug addicts.  \n\ni would imagine they'd be exactly what you need.  search on the net to find either one in your area.

In my opinion the answer is "no".  \n\nI don't believe rehabilitation is something you can make happen to another person.  In alcohol addition, admitting the problem is the first step.  Unfortunately, the admission can only be made by the addict.\n\nThe exact same is true for prisons.  All the tools in world, when left unused by the convict, are useless.  A prison is essentially a human warehouse.  The very best a prison can do is offer the time and support for convicts who want to rehabilitate themselves.

There is a happy mix for dying patients..Brompton cocktail.\n\nIt is a mix of morphine, cocaine and alcohol.  I have been around a few terminally ill patients.  I do not know the amounts I just know of it.  There is also morphine and the patch of phentalol (I think), spelled wrong.   Here it is:  transdermal phentanol patch.  But the first one is probably what you are looking for.  \n\nMy 99 year old grandma got the morphine (sublingual) and the patch.  I don't know if it helped her but it helped me to sleep.  SHe screamed all night from either pain or fear, I will never know.\n\nI do not think heroin is a good choice for anything.

The consuption of alcohol - even large amounts - does not affect hepatitis B vaccine.  In turn - the vaccine poses no threat to the liver.  Thus - in the short term - there is no concern.  Alcohol - however - remains the 2nd leading cause of preventable illness, disability, and death in the United States.  As difficult as such discussions may be - if you are truly concerned - you should speak with your friend about minimizing or ideally eliminating the consumption of alcohol.
