What are the effects of binge drinking?

  • Accidents and falls are prevalent while intoxicated, since intoxication impairs coordination and balance. If the accident or fall is serious, the outcome might range from moderate harm to severe injury and even death.

  • Binge drinking may have a negative effect on your mood and memory and can eventually result in major mental health issues.

  • Binge drinking may result in antisocial and violent behavior, causing detrimental impacts on relationships with family and friends.

How can you stay safe?

  • Plan ahead for transportation, don’t drink and drive

  • Respect the rights of individuals who do not wish to drink

  • Keep track of how many drinks you are consuming

  • Never accept a drink from someone you don’t know

  • If you’re playing drinking games, try playing with non-alcoholic drinks

  • Understand both how much alcohol you are having and how much you should have

  • Be careful to not mix alcohol with medications

  • Avoid drinking alcohol if you are sick. Alcohol causes dehydration, which can prolong your recovery time

  • Avoid top-ups so you can keep track of your alcohol intake

 
 

I would like to testify that Elim Clinic is the best to treat its patients and recommend that patients should not hesitate to approach the clinic if there is a need. From the gate you will be met with a smiling security staff, who also assist you with offloading your luggage to the relevant place where you will be accommodated. There is a place for juveniles and a place for adults. The smile you exchange with the nurses as they try to get to know each other, they will let you meet your therapist and start to get to know each other and everyone. You will be encouraged to say anything that lets you become an addict and have nothing to bottle in. Everything is being treated confidentially. The security is very tight and there are cameras everywhere. A specialized diet is always available in the kitchen. When you are sick, the doctors and nurses are available. Prayer meetings are also arranged every morning and on Sundays. Motivational speakers are invited to share their stories. There are always activities that one does at the clinic, we have sports and a gym.

My time at Elim Clinic was something worth remembering and definitely worth my while. I have met some of the most wonderful and amazing people here that are still good sober friends to this very day. Some of the best moments of my life were here, and there were many heartwarming moments I will remember for the rest of my life. The staff here are all friendly and very helpful; they always treated me with respect. Special thanks to all the nurses, chefs, and all staff members who treated me like family. I would highly recommend anyone who is struggling/battling with addiction or emotional problems to come to Elim Clinic as it has helped me a lot and is and will forever be like a second home, a safe place, and a safe haven for me and countless others who have been here and have been helped on their journey. Most of all, to Elim and its staff, thank you kindly for everything you have done for me. I wish you all the best; much love.

I walked into Elim hopeless and in despair. I had apprehension on the actual effectiveness of such a program that I often viewed as pseudo-science; needless to say I was erroneous in my thinking. I am walking out of here with my head held high, my confidence restored and life in control. I was hoping at best I would get back to normal, but I leave a better man.

I had to reach out for help, and I found this place Elim Clinic which has great progammes that helped me in recovery, most outstanding and highlighted sessions were the therapy sessions. It made me feel safe and worth it, to be more open-minded and find happiness in the process of freedom of speech. Today I walk out freely of Elim Clinic, sober-minded, physically strong and with gratitude.

This center I feel has given me another head start to my life of sobriety. I have been armed with the tools, strategies of tackling the setbacks that might arise in this journey of sober life. Medically the center has done wonders in getting me back in shape. I now look like a living human being as opposed to what I looked like when I came in. Spiritually the center has fed my soul and my “I can’t” has changed to “I can”. I am not where am supposed to be, but I thank God that I am not where I used to be!!
