Alcohol withdrawal syndrome is a clinical condition that can occur when individuals struggling with alcoholism quit drinking. Depending on the frequency and length of the addiction, alcohol withdrawal syndrome has symptoms that range from mild to fatal. These usually begin to occur within a few hours to a couple of days after the last drink. The symptoms of alcohol withdrawal syndrome include anxiety, agitation, gastrointestinal problems, disorientation, tremor, and in severe cases, seizures.
The general timeline for a alcohol detox program may be similar. But the length can be influenced by different factors. These include:
During initial assessment we will do a comprehensive evaluation to understand your medical history, drinking and lifestyle habits. You will also be asked about any psychiatric or emotional issues you may be experiencing. Our doctor will prescribe medication to help with cravings and withdrawal pain. Most patients will need to stay in the hospital until their withdrawal symptoms decrease.This step is critical for health and safety.
Detox may have a different timeline for everyone based on how fast your body metabolizes alcohol. However, after about 5 days most people are ready for discharge from official detox. Once your doctor has determined that you’ve successfully completed alcohol detox you will be released from the facility.
You’ll be able to return home with your aftercare plan in place, however we strongly recommend post-detox care in either inpatient or outpatient rehab to continue your path towards a sober and happy life.
