Through the use of psychoeducation, medication management and support groups, Rebound Brooklyn Medical treats psychiatric problems and addresses issues around addiction and prevention of addiction. Rebound Brooklyn Medical works closely with individuals who are facing the consequences of psychiatric illness as well as addiction, such as job loss, custody battles, legal issues, and withdrawal. Withdrawal refers to the physical, mental, and emotional effects experienced by individuals who suddenly stop using an addictive substance or considerably lower their dosage.
Withdrawal from all addictive substances includes emotional symptoms ranging from social isolation and irritability to anxiety and depression. Withdrawal from alcohol and tranquilizers, such as benzodiazepines, is particularly dangerous, often requiring close medical supervision, often hospitalization to prevent patients from suffering serious injury or even death.
Mild withdrawals from these substances can cause difficulty breathing and tremors, while severe withdrawal symptoms include grand mal seizures, heart attacks, strokes, and hallucinations. In some cases, alcoholics in the late stages of the disease can develop a condition known as delirium tremens (DT's), characterized by uncontrollable shaking and sudden changes to the nervous system.
