but what about withdrawal? I get anxious so I drink to balance myself out and my mind goes insane if I don't, where do I find cheap help?

Brief Answer:
Medicines help in withdrawal

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

You are right in saying that withdrawal symptoms maintain the abuse of aldol as they are very troublesome for most individuals.

I do not think you need to worry about withdrawal symptoms when you are in professional care. With current set of available medications most people have smooth transition from dependence to abstinence with little or no withdrawal symptoms.

I do not understand what do you mean by cheap help but the area where I practice the cost of alcohol over one month is equal to one week medical care cost. You can contact me for consultation at Icliniq.com/ashok provided you are not able to afford locally available help.

I hope this helps you further.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for my future patients.

Brief Answer:
Yes but outpatient centres are also an option

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

DEtox center is the ideal place when there is risk of withdrawal symptoms but if you have mild problem the outpatient department of local addiction psychiatry can be accessed.

I hope this helps you further.
Thanks and regards.

what is an outpatient centre? how do I find one.
doctor
Answered by Dr. Dr. Ashok Kumar Choudhary (12 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
Any doctor or clinic having deduction facility without admission

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

Outpatient means the patient remains out of the hospital or detox centre and receives her treatment. It is like you go to hospital, get your prescription, come back to home and follow the instruction of doctor.

This is viable option for those who have high motivation.

For example your family doctor is one example of outpatient centre.

You can look around you where is such facilities available.

I hope this helps you further.
Thanks and regards.
