QUESTION
Alcohol Withdrawal
Answer:
Symptoms of withdrawal usually begin 4 to 12 hours after cessation or marked reduction of
alcohol intake. Symptoms include coarse hand tremors, sweating, elevated pulse and blood
pressure, insomnia, anxiety, and nausea or vomiting. Severe or untreated withdrawal may
progress to transient hallucinations, seizures, or delirium, called delirium tremens. Alcohol
withdrawal usually peaks on the second day and is over in about 5 days. This can vary, however,
and withdrawal may take 1 to 2 weeks.
Because alcohol withdrawal can be life-threatening, detoxification needs to be accomplished
under medical supervision. If the client's withdrawal symptoms are mild and he or she can
abstain from alcohol, he or she can be treated safely at home. For more severe withdrawal or for
clients who cannot abstain during detoxification, a short admission of 3 to 5 days is the most
common setting
