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.
