The Deadliest Holiday Tradition You’ve Never Heard Of.
Everyone knows about Black Friday, but the real danger starts the night before. They call it "Blackout Wednesday"—the Wednesday before Thanksgiving—and it has become one of the deadliest nights of the year for alcohol-related accidents.
But the tragedy doesn't start with the car crash; it starts with the inability to safely monitor and maintain safe drinking habits.
You don't have to white-knuckle your way through the holidays. Evidence-based medical treatments are available right now to stop cravings before they star.
Medication-Assisted Treatment: FDA-approved options like Naltrexone (Vivitrol) and Acamprosate work to block the "high" of alcohol and reduce the physical urge to drink.
Counseling: Behavioral therapy helps rewire the triggers that turn holiday stress into a binge.
Help is closer than you think.
📍 In Massachusetts: Lawrence Medical Center offers integrated addiction and mental health care at our locations in Lawrence, Peabody, and Attleboro.
