What is Alcohol Withdrawal?

When an alcoholic stops drinking after prolonged, heavy alcohol use, your body experiences a variety of physical and mental changes that present as withdrawal symptoms.

You may have heard alcohol referred to as a depressant, which it is. In order to compensate for the depressant effect that alcohol has, your body has been producing more of the hormones that counteract depression (serotonin and norepinephrine). After several hours without using, the alcohol begins to leave your system, but it can take several days for your body to fully adjust to this change. This adjustment is what we refer to as alcohol detox.

Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms

Common Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms Include:

Restlessness
Irritability
Anxiety
Lack of appetite
Nausea & vomiting
Tremors (shakiness)

Alcohol Detox & Withdrawal Timelines

If you are an addict who has never achieved sobriety before you may wonder how long alcohol detox can take. In reality, the answer can vary a lot from one person to another. The more an alcoholic drinks, and the longer that they drink, the more severe the withdrawal symptoms can be, ranging from mild to severe. Not all users experience all of the same symptoms, but they do occur in the same pattern.

6 Hours Following Your Last Drink

Symptoms of withdrawal typically start between 6 to 24 hours and they can get most severe over the following days. The onset of alcohol detox is marked by tremors or uncontrollable shaking. Other symptoms that can accompany tremors include rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure, rapid breathing, sweating, nausea/vomiting, anxiety, irritability, vivid dreams, and insomnia.

During this time, it is also possible to experience seizures that can occur over several hours. Seizures are seen up to 48 hours after your last drink.

12 to 48 Hours Following Your Last Drink

Hallucinations may start as early as 12 after your last drink and can last up to 48 hours.

48-72 Hours Following Your Last Drink

For the most severe detox cases, you may experiences what are referred to as delirium tremens, or severe delirium with tremors. Delirium tremens is a dangerous effect of alcohol withdrawal that can cause severe changes in heart rate, breathing, and temperature. Individuals that experience delirium tremens are monitored closely to prevent violent behavior, major brain damage, and loss of life.

All symptoms typically start to wear off after about 5 days but can last for longer. Psychological symptoms can take the longest to wear off, sometimes lasting weeks. Our team performs regular evaluations and creates personalized treatment plans.

Why Choose An Alcohol Detox in Palm Beach?

For a person who has been suffering from moderate to severe alcohol addiction, detox is a daunting reality. Withdrawal symptoms can be more than uncomfortable, they can be dangerous too. However, continuing to drink can cause more long-term damage to your mind, body, and relationships. If you have to detox from alcohol, you might at well do it at an alcohol detox center in Palm Beach. Palm Beach alcohol detox centers have a combination of benefits that no other detox centers can offer.

Alcohol Detox Centers in Palm Beach are More Inviting

Detox and recovery are scary enough on its own, but it’s small things like the location that can help an addict get comfortable with the idea of entering an alcohol detox program (like the program being in Palm Beach). As opposed to a gray, rainy or snowy location, when someone thinks of recovery in Palm Beach they can think of palm trees and warm, sunny weather. There is a reason Palm Beach is known as a state people retire to: it’s comfortable and downright inviting.

Additionally, Palm Beach is somewhat of a hub for drug and alcohol recovery. Palm Beach addiction professionals are well versed in helping those who are in need of expert assistance to get them on track. Those looking for help can be confident that they are indeed in good hands at a detox center like Pines Recovery Life Detox.

Warm Weather Can Aid in Recovery From Alcoholism

It is no secret that Palm Beach has beautiful weather nearly year-round. In fact, 60-degree weather is considered chilly down here! Blue skies and flat oceans are truly the norm. What you may not know is that the warm climate actually has positive physical effects on the detox process.

Whether you go outside for a stroll or you simply open the shades to let a little light in, absorbing some of the warm sunlight increases vitamin D absorption. Vitamin D is known to be a natural mood booster, helping manage any anxiety or depression that can accompany alcoholism. Sunlight has also been shown to increase serotonin levels, a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of well-being and happiness. Adequate serotonin levels also help manage stress and anxiety levels. Managing emotional and physical stressors is critical to the alcohol detox process and counteracting the symptoms.

Depending on the facility and the level of care, you will likely be allowed to go outside and move around a little. Movement and some activity can be good for detox progression, as well as managing pain and discomfort. Minus the occasional rainy day, we have year-round perfect weather for outdoor activities.

Variety of Detox and Ongoing Recovery Options

Alcohol detox and withdrawal symptoms usually start to taper off after 5-7 days. However, there really could be lingering effects for some time afterward. Traveling a long distance to get into a residential or outpatient treatment program is not ideal when you are fresh out of detox. The variety of drug and alcohol treatment programs in South Palm Beach means that you will not have to travel far to get to the best facility for the next step in your journey to recovery. From partial hospitalization programs to family therapy and dual diagnosis treatment, Palm Beach has the right alcohol treatment programs for you.

At Pines Recovery Life Detox, we work alongside a number of different treatment centers and our professionals will help you transition smoothly to a quality residential or outpatient treatment program. Located just east of Hollywood, Palm Beach, drug detox has never been more accessible to those in need. Contact us today to get started at our alcohol detox program in South Palm Beach.

Health Risks and Dangers of Alcohol Detox

Detoxing at home is common, but alcohol withdrawal carries a number of serious risks ranging from dehydration to brain damage and even death. These health risks are the main reason why we recommend seeking the help of Pines Recovery Life Detox, as opposed to attempting detox at home.

Detox is unpredictable and the ability to act quickly at the onset of severe withdrawal symptoms or unforeseen complications is key in preventing permanent damage. Our doctors know what signs to look for and what interventions need to be prescribed to prevent or control changes in your mental and physical well-being.

The unpleasant side effects of alcohol detox mixed with increased cravings make it tempting to break off the detox and start drinking again in order to escape the symptoms. In the event of a relapse, your body may be at an increased risk of alcohol poisoning and overdose because your tolerance has already started to decline. You are less likely to relapse during detox when it is completed at a detox center, under the supervision of trained caregivers and with access to proper medical treatment.

If severe symptoms occur during detox, you may be transported to a local hospital for further treatment.

Round the clock care is needed for several days, sometimes weeks before you are fully sober. You cannot care for yourself during this time and even if a loved one offers to help, a full team of caregivers is necessary to provide 24/7 monitoring.

Our staff can help minimize and treat the symptoms of withdrawal, decreasing your chances of relapse or serious complications.

Statistics On Alcohol Withdrawal

This question is difficult to answer. Are you capable of detoxing from alcohol on your own? Most likely. However, should you? That answer is a simple no.
