What Your Body Goes Through When You Detox from
Alcohol
2

• Alcohol addiction is real, and almost everyone
  has a family member or a friend battling to quit
  alcohol.
• It may not be because they are not willing but it
  all boils down to the body and what it has
  already gotten used to having.
• Once you decide to stop the use of alcohol and
  detox your body, your body goes through a
  strenuous and a painful process.

• Thus, it is advisable when you plan to detox
  alcohol do not do it on your own rather, find
  alcohol detox centers that will pay close
  attention to you.
• Withdrawal symptoms can begin to appear twelve to
  twenty-four hours from the last drink.
• During detox from alcohol several severe symptoms
  which may appear include

Disorientation and confusion

• Alcohol withdrawal usually leaves the addict
  disoriented and confused.
• The disorientation also comes with cases of
  severe anxiety making the victim uneasy and
  irritable even to those trying to help.
• It can be very difficult to reason with a person
  in the difficult initial stages of detox.

Hallucinations

• After deciding to undergo alcohol detox, very
  severe cases of alcohol withdrawal might result
  in Delirium Tremens or DTs.
• One of the most terrifying symptoms of DTs is
  hallucination.
• They hallucinations horrify the patient in most
  cases - a common vision is bugs under the skin.
• While this happens in only the most intense
  cases, it is an ever-present risk.

6
Anxiety and Panic

• Oftentimes the withdrawal process can put the
  patient into a state of panic as the blood
  pressure rises and the body begins to feel pain.
• This is the hardest part for most withdrawal
  cases.
• Benzo drugs such as Valium or Ativan are often
  used to alleviate these symptoms

7
Other withdrawal symptoms

• After you start your detox program the body
  usually sweats a lot as it purges the alcohol
  from the system.
• Your blood pressure shoots all the time and this
  leads to an irregular and heightened heartbeat.
• You may get severe tremors, usually on your hands
  and feet, and the last and most dangerous stage
  is when you get seizures which can lead to death.
