Alcohol Withdrawal

24/07/2011

Almost all alcoholics who have been regularly heavy drinkers will experience withdrawal symptoms when they suddenly stop drinking. These symptoms can range from mild shakes and discomfort to life-threatening deliriums, which can include confusion, hallucinations, convulsions, tremours and death. Drinkers who have been drinking heavily for several years and decide to quit should seek medical assistance first.

Over 90% of alcoholics experience some form of withdrawal symptoms that can be treated by health-care providers on an outpatient basis, but a small percentage experience severe withdrawal and should be treated in a hospital or a facility that is equipped to handle detoxification.
Detoxification treatment, includes abstinence from alcohol in a controlled environment and close monitoring of vital signs and any withdrawal symptoms. In some cases, detox treatment can also include administering tranquilizers such as Valium, Librium, Ativan or Serax.
