New Research Isolates Binge Drinking Center in the Brain
USA (PRWEB) March 26, 2015 -- As reported by Medical Daily on March 11th, researches from the University of North Carolina have isolated an organic protein present in the brain named neuropeptide Y (NPY) associated with precipitating binge drinking. Most teens engage in binge drinking during social gatherings in an attempt to get drunk. Researchers are hoping to develop a medication revolving around their research that will enable parents, and sufferers of alcohol use disorders to inhibit their impulse to drink excessively. Binge drinking is described as consuming large quantities of alcohol in rapid succession (two hour span); women are considered binge drinkers when they exceed four or more drinks; men are considered binge drinkers upon consuming more than five drinks. Harbor Village Detox is an inpatient medical detox center dedicated to providing the pinnacle of addiction treatment to victims of substance use disorders. This recent discovery is sparking the hopes of the addiction specialists of the treatment facility; they anticipate the release of new medications to inhibit the urge to binge drink will decreases alcohol abuse among teens.
A Harbor Village Detox associate comments, “Although we have some medications at our disposal to address alcohol use disorders, we are eagerly anticipating a streamlined medication we can turn to that parents will feel safe about giving their kids. Most teens binge drink playing drinking games- although those who go on to develop serious addiction disorders can make their treatment more effective with medically assisted drug treatment. By inhibiting the receptor in the brain controlling the impulse to binge drink, we can more effectively treat substance abusers and those suffering from chronic alcohol substance use disorders. This medication will be an important step in addiction treatment.”
