Alcohol Detox Program Overview

Making the decision to deal with your dependence on alcohol is a good one. You will enjoy a better quality of life, more positive relationships with your family, friends, and coworkers, and there are definite health benefits to getting off "booze".

There is more to the process than simply deciding to go to a rehab clinic or getting involved with a 12-step program, though. Before you can enter the recovery phase and learn ways to go through life without drinking alcohol, you need to go through detox. This stage is where you get "clean" and your body gets free from this substance.

What are the Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms, Signs, and Effects:

Withdrawal symptoms in alcoholics can start when the person still has a measurable amount of alcohol in his or her system. The early symptoms include the following:

More serious symptoms may occur within 12-24 hours after the individual stops drinking, including hallucinations. These may be visual, auditory, or tactile in nature. Some people experience seizures at the 24-48 hour mark.

Do Alcohol Withdrawals Cause Pain? Is it a Dangerous Process?

Some of the symptoms of alcohol detox, such as a headache can be painful. Most people who are detoxing from "booze" can be treated on an outpatient basis. Some doctors will prescribe medications with sedative properties, such as Valium, to help keep the patient comfortable. Medically-supervised alcohol detox is recommended for people with a history of seizures, liver problems, who are pregnant, or who lack support from family or friends.

The first step can be as simple as calling 1-866-675-4912 right now or browsing our directory to find a center for alcohol detoxification.

Upon arriving and being assessed the detox program will begin. Your condition will be monitored as you go through the process, which will depend on how much and how long you have been drinking. The symptoms should improve within 72 hours.

A very important factor in the chances of avoiding a relapse is to immediately check into an alcohol rehab center to continue the rehabilitation process.
Many rehab programs will recommend that users, who have remained sober, enter a sober living home in order to continue the process of maintaining their sobriety while re-entering everyday life.
