« Alcoholism is a Family Disease | Main | Alcoholism Withdrawal »
By Newport Coast | December 12, 2007
The first major stage of recovering from alcoholism is the detox stage, which is also known as withdrawal. Many people who have decided to treat their alcoholism fear this stage the most, and it’s a justified fear too. Withdrawal can be a very painful process, and in extreme cases it can be accompanied by delirium tremens (DT). The withdrawal process takes a toll on both mind and body, but it’s generally over within a few days. When you choose a medically supervised detox program, the painful process of withdrawal can be made more tolerable with the aid of medicine and a well trained staff. Once you’ve made it past the detox stage of alcoholism it’s time to figure out a long term treatment strategy. Generally if you require emergency detox, you’ll need to stay at a residential inpatient treatment facility. Detoxing can also be a very emotional period, so make sure you find a facility that offers a full staff that includes therapists as well.
