      Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment


      What are the signs of liver damage from alcoholism?

      Alcoholism, or Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), can lead to liver damage over time as the liver struggles to process excessive amounts of alcohol. Liver damage due to alcoholism can manifest in various ways, with signs ranging from mild to severe. Some common signs of liver damage from alcoholism include:

      • Jaundice: One of the most recognizable signs of liver damage is the yellowing of the skin and eyes, known as jaundice. This occurs when the liver is unable to properly process bilirubin, a waste product that accumulates in the body.
      • Abdominal pain: Individuals with liver damage may experience pain or discomfort in the upper right abdomen, where the liver is located.
      • Swelling in the abdomen: Liver damage can lead to the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity, a condition known as ascites. This can cause swelling and discomfort in the abdomen.
      • Fatigue: Impaired liver function can result in persistent fatigue, weakness, and a general lack of energy.
      • Dark urine: Liver damage can cause the urine to become darker in color, often appearing brown or tea-colored.
      • Pale or bloody stools: Individuals with liver damage may notice pale, clay-colored, or bloody stools, indicating that the liver is struggling to process waste products.
      • Bruising or bleeding easily: The liver plays a crucial role in blood clotting. When the liver is damaged, it may struggle to produce adequate clotting factors, resulting in easy bruising or prolonged bleeding from minor cuts or injuries.
      • Loss of appetite: Liver damage can lead to a decreased appetite or unexplained weight loss.
      • Nausea and vomiting: Impaired liver function can cause feelings of nausea or even vomiting.
      • Itchy skin: Liver damage can result in the buildup of bile salts in the skin, leading to itchiness and irritation.
      • Spider angiomas: Some individuals with liver damage may develop small, spider-like blood vessels visible beneath the skin, known as spider angiomas.
      • Confusion or disorientation: In advanced cases of liver damage, toxins that would normally be filtered by the liver can build up in the bloodstream and affect brain function, leading to confusion, disorientation, or even coma.

      It is important to seek medical attention if you or someone you know is experiencing signs of liver damage from alcoholism. Early diagnosis and intervention can help prevent further damage and improve the chances of recovery. Treatment may include abstaining from alcohol, making lifestyle changes, and addressing any underlying health conditions contributing to liver damage.


      What happens when a person overdosed on fentanyl?

      Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. It is used medically to treat severe pain, but its potent nature also makes it dangerous when misused or taken in excessive amounts. When a person overdoses on fentanyl, several life-threatening symptoms and complications can occur:

      • Respiratory depression: One of the most critical effects of a fentanyl overdose is severe respiratory depression, which occurs when the drug suppresses the brain's ability to control breathing. This can lead to slow, shallow, or irregular breathing, or even cause the person to stop breathing altogether, which can be fatal.
      • Unconsciousness: A fentanyl overdose can cause the person to lose consciousness or become unresponsive. In this state, the individual is at a higher risk of choking or suffering from positional asphyxia if they are in an awkward position that restricts their breathing.
      • Constricted pupils: An overdose may result in pinpoint pupils, also known as miosis, which is a common sign of opioid intoxication.
      • Cyanosis: Due to the lack of oxygen resulting from respiratory depression, the person's skin, lips, and nails may develop a bluish tint, which is called cyanosis.
      • Low blood pressure: A fentanyl overdose can lead to a significant drop in blood pressure (hypotension), which may result in dizziness, fainting, or shock.
      • Slow or weak pulse: The person's heart rate may become slow or weak, further contributing to the risk of life-threatening complications.
      • Muscle rigidity: In some cases, a fentanyl overdose can cause muscle stiffness or rigidity, particularly in the chest and abdominal muscles, which can make it even more difficult to breathe.
      • Seizures: Although less common, a fentanyl overdose may also cause seizures in some individuals.
      • Coma or death: In severe cases, a fentanyl overdose can lead to coma or death due to respiratory failure, lack of oxygen, or other complications.

      If you suspect someone is experiencing a fentanyl overdose, it is crucial to call emergency medical services immediately. Administering naloxone, an opioid antagonist, can temporarily reverse the effects of the overdose, but multiple doses may be needed due to fentanyl's potency. It is essential to note that naloxone is not a substitute for professional medical care, and the person must still receive prompt medical attention to address any underlying complications and ensure proper treatment.


      How does drug addiction affect the family unit?

      Drug addiction can have far-reaching consequences not only for the individual struggling with substance use, but also for their family unit. Family members may experience various emotional, social, and financial challenges as a result of a loved one's addiction. Some of the ways drug addiction can impact the family unit include:

      • Emotional strain: Family members may experience a range of emotions, such as fear, anger, frustration, guilt, and sadness, as they grapple with their loved one's addiction. These emotions can be overwhelming and may lead to mental health issues, such as anxiety or depression, among family members.
      • Family dynamics: Drug addiction can alter family dynamics, leading to increased conflict, mistrust, and communication breakdowns. This may result in a dysfunctional family environment and strained relationships among family members.
      • Role changes: Family members may be forced to take on new roles to compensate for the challenges brought on by the addiction. For example, a spouse or older child may assume additional responsibilities for managing the household, providing financial support, or caring for younger siblings.
      • Neglect of responsibilities: The individual struggling with addiction may neglect their responsibilities as a parent, spouse, or sibling, leaving other family members to bear the burden of these responsibilities.
      • Financial strain: The costs associated with obtaining drugs and potential job loss due to addiction can place a significant financial burden on the family. This may result in debt, inability to meet basic needs, or even homelessness.
      • Legal issues: Family members may face legal problems as a result of their loved one's drug-related activities, such as theft or drug possession. Legal issues can create additional financial strain and emotional stress for the family.
      • Safety concerns: Drug addiction can expose family members to unsafe situations, such as violence, drug-related criminal activities, or the presence of dangerous substances within the home.
      • Impact on children: Children in families affected by drug addiction may experience emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges. They may be at greater risk for academic difficulties, mental health disorders, and substance abuse themselves later in life.
      • Social isolation: Family members may become socially isolated due to stigma, shame, or fear associated with their loved one's addiction. This can lead to a loss of support networks and further emotional strain.
