What Is Alcohol Withdrawal?
An individual who has drunk large amounts of alcohol for a long time will experience a state of shock when they haven’t had a drink. The individual will have to drink more alcohol to stop the withdrawal symptoms, creating a tolerance in the body and forming a dependence on the alcohol. Withdrawal symptoms can occur at any time when the individual’s body lacks alcohol.
What Are the Symptoms of Alcohol Withdrawal?
Most people who have a physical addiction to alcohol will start to show withdrawal symptoms between six and 24 hours after their last drink. Withdrawal symptoms can last anywhere from seven to 10 days. The withdrawal symptoms of alcohol addiction include:
- Hallucinations
- Vomiting
- Insomnia
- Autonomic instability
- Seizures
- Hand tremors
- Nausea
- Anxiety
Withdrawal symptoms are stronger for those who have abused alcohol longer. The severity of symptoms also depends on a person’s genetics and any previous attempts at recovery through detoxification. Those who have more advanced addictions can experience life-threatening withdrawal symptoms. Treatment from medical professionals is highly recommended for successful recovery from alcoholism.
