physical activity (LTPA)... SOCIAL MEDIA Add to Any Platform Loading Topic Resources Alcohol (ethanol) is a CNS depressant. Large amounts consumed rapidly can cause respiratory depression, coma, and death. Large amounts chronically consumed damage the liver and many other organs. Alcohol withdrawal manifests as a continuum, ranging from tremor to seizures, hallucinations, and life-threatening autonomic instability in severe withdrawal (delirium tremens). Diagnosis is clinical. (See also .) About half (...) intake. A mild alcohol withdrawal syndrome includes tremor, weakness, headache, sweating, hyperreflexia, and GI symptoms. Tachycardia may be present and blood pressure can be slightly elevated. Symptoms usually begin within about 6 h of cessation. Some patients have generalized tonic-clonic seizures (called alcoholic epilepsy, or rum fits) but usually not > 2 in short succession. Seizures generally occur 6-48 h after cessation of alcohol.

Behavioral Health Integration/Maternal Behavioral Health Kaiser Permanente Washington has integrated behavioral health into all primary care clinics. The goal of Behavioral Health Integration (BHI) is to create a welcoming environment for patients to address common problems—alcohol and substance use disorders as well as depression—with their primary care teams. A major (...) element of BHI has been transitioning primary care social workers to a new role of integrated behavioral health specialist, in which they work as “provider extenders” to address patient needs without disrupting patient flow and team cycle time. Social workers offer consultation to providers, brief interventions, or short-term (4–6 visits) counseling for individuals with mild to moderate depression and alcohol or substance use disorders. Maternal Behavioral Health (MBH) Screening is part of the BHI
