National Alcohol Screening Day-Thursday, April 11, 2013

ATLANTA - April 9, 2013 - PRLog -- IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  NationalAlcohol Screening Day-Thursday, April 11th

Atlanta, GA, April 9, 2013- April is Alcohol Awareness Month and this Thursday, April 11, 2013, has been designated by NCADD (National Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependence) as Alcohol Screening Day. There are 18 million Americans who qualify as being dependent on alcohol or as having an Alcohol Abuse Disorder. Alcohol abuse can lead to alcohol dependence (alcoholism) and the determination is made by professionals in the field, through a series of questions regarding alcohol use.

This Thursday and for the remainder of the month, ExecuCare Addiction Recovery Center is offering free Alcohol Dependency Assessments at their facility in Norcross. These confidential screenings are conducted privately by ExecuCare’s Executive Director, Dr. Damgaard and are arranged by calling ExecuCare at 877-276-2224 or going online at www.ExecuCareARC.com.  

Research now shows that chronic drinking damages receptors sites in the brain and over-stimulates the neuro-transmitter, dopamine, which produces our feelings of pleasure.  This can lead to depression, anxiety, intense cravings, withdrawal symptoms and the desire to drink more.  Dr. Damgaard explains, “The one thing missing from most traditional treatment is the actual treatment of the physical disease.”  The Neurotransmitter Restoration Therapy (NTR) offered at ExecuCare addresses this physical component of dependency by naturally detoxing the body from alcohol and accelerating the brain’s healing, so that the person experiences simple pleasures again.
