Alcoholism

Excessive alcohol use kills over 140,000 people each year in America, and many of those deaths are directly caused by alcohol-related liver disease. If you struggle with alcoholism, HealthScansBCS helps you keep watch on your liver health using affordable, convenient, and noninvasive scans. With just one scan, you can understand how alcohol has impacted your liver health. 

What is alcoholism?

Alcoholism is alcohol use that you can’t control. When you struggle to manage your drinking, despite it causing problems, alcohol has a too-tight hold over your life and it can lead to life-threatening medical complications like liver disease. 

There is hope for those struggling with alcoholism. With a single scan, you can gain a clear understanding of your liver health and take the first step toward recovery.

How does alcoholism affect the liver?

Your liver plays a vital role in protecting your body filtering toxins, aiding digestion, and supporting your immune and metabolic health. However, it cannot effectively process high levels of alcohol over time. It’s recommended to limit intake to about one drink per hour; consistently drinking more can cause lasting damage to your liver.

How can I check on my liver health if I’m dealing with alcoholism?

If you’re living with alcoholism, whether in recovery or still drinking, it’s essential to care for your liver. A liver scan is a quick, noninvasive way to check your liver health. For those in recovery, periodic scans can show just how much progress your liver makes as you continue your journey without alcohol.
