Understanding Alcohol Withdrawal
Alcohol withdrawal can develop when someone with physical dependence stops drinking or substantially reduces alcohol use. Risk depends on the person’s drinking history, previous withdrawal, health and other substance use. A history of withdrawal seizures or severe confusion is important information for the assessment team.
Alcohol Withdrawal and Medical Assessment
Withdrawal may involve tremor, sweating, nausea, anxiety and sleep problems. Severe symptoms can include seizures or marked confusion. Seek medical advice before stopping after sustained heavy drinking; do not use an online symptom list to decide whether withdrawal is safe to manage alone.
For a seizure, trouble breathing, inability to wake someone or another medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not wait for a program inquiry.
Questions to Discuss About Alcohol Use
Explain how much and how often you drink, when you last drank and what happened during previous attempts to stop. Ask how withdrawal care differs from ongoing treatment for alcohol use disorder.
- What current symptoms, health conditions and other substance use affect the assessment?
- Which setting can meet the identified needs, and what care is needed after withdrawal?
- Who will coordinate prescriptions, follow-up and support when care changes?
