Alcohol Detox Symptoms
Withdrawal from alcohol without medicinal intervention causes many symptoms of varying severity. Mild symptoms include anxiety, dehydration, sweating, fast heart-beat, headaches. Diarrhoea, slightly raised blood pressure, vomiting, tremor, panic attacks and indigestion are considered moderately bad symptoms, and severe symptoms would include acute anxiety, dehydration, rapid heart rate, seizures, delirium and Delirium Tremens (the DT’s), with the risk of Wernicke’s encephalopy.In a residential rehab centre such as Lifeworks Community your withdrawal is carefully regulated and controlled using medications, usually Chlordiazepoxide, which is a fairly long-acting benzodiazepine, and Thiamine (Vitamin B1), which is used to help repair brain and nervous tissue damage caused by alcohol misuse.
In this environment, under the care of our doctor and our experienced registered nurses, we can ensure that your detox is as safe as possible, while at the same time minimising the discomfort of withdrawal.
