4. What is Alcohol
Detoxification?
Withdrawal from alcohol is done in a controlled,
supervised setting in which medications relieve symptoms. Detoxification usually
takes 4 to 7 days.
Examination for other medical problems is necessary.
For example, liver and blood clotting problems are common.
A balanced
diet with vitamin supplements is important. Complications can occur with alcohol
withdrawal, such as delirium tremens (DT's), which could be fatal. Depression
or other mood disorders should be evaluated and treated. Often, alcohol abuse
develops from efforts to self-treat an illness.
