Alcohol Withdrawals

Alcohol withdrawals are a serious condition. Alcohol is one of the only substances that can kill people who are addicted to it from withdrawals. This hazard stems from alcohol’s effect on the brain. Sudden deprivation of alcohol can send the user into life-threatening seizures. It is highly advised to seek alcohol addiction treatment during withdrawals since having a medical professional with you for the process can save your life.

The Symptoms of Alcohol Withdrawals

Alcohol withdrawal can manifest itself in varying degrees of intensity. The mildest cases may suffer from little more than some anxiety, insomnia, and mild tremors. High-intensity withdrawals can become a nightmare of lethal proportions.

Severe symptoms include:

  • Psychosis
  • Seizures
  • Heart palpitations
  • Jaundice (a symptom of liver failure)
  • Hallucinations
  • Confusion

Some of the less fortunate chronic alcoholics also suffer from delirium tremens, a sometimes permanent form of psychotic break that destroys cognitive function that can be permanent, depending on the severity and intensity of the withdrawal. Without medical assistance, the more severe cases can end in permanent brain damage or death.

A Timeline of Alcohol Withdrawals

The intensity of alcohol withdrawal symptoms depends on a variety of factors. The primary determining factor is the duration and severity of the addiction itself. Other important factors include how much alcohol was consumed regularly, the method of consumption, and any underlying mental or physical health conditions.

Withdrawals typically begin about six to 12 hours after the last drink. For most people, the symptoms peak after 24-48 hours and then begin to improve. However, some people may experience symptoms for weeks or even months.
