Treatment of Alcohol Detoxification

Quitting alcohol is a big challenge for many people, especially in the early stages while going through detox. Many individuals will experience severe symptoms of detoxification especially you are a heavy drinker.

Some side effects include:

• An almost uncontrollable need for a drink
• Tremors
• Lethargy
• Insomnia
• Anxiety
• Agitation
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Sweating
• Hallucinations
• Seizures

In many cases, you may experience symptoms that abate after a couple of days, especially with the assistance of detox supplements. More severe symptoms will require medical intervention in a controlled medical environment with certain medications prescribed by professionals. 

Your recovery process will be different from everyone else depending on the severity of your alcohol dependency. These include length of treatment time,  detox phase and other types of therapy that may include rehab centers.

Once you leave a detox facility you should enroll in a rehabilitation program to help you remain sober and healthier. Let’s now have a look at the nutritional deficiencies resulting from heavy drinking.

Nutritional Deficiencies

If you abuse alcohol you most likely have vitamin and mineral deficiency. While going through detox, it’s important to take vitamins to address your deficiencies. They help to heal your body by providing necessary nutritional support.

If you have an alcohol use disorder you probably like to replace your food with alcohol which is a leading cause of nutritional deficiency. If you do manage to eat healthy meals, your body may not be able to digest them because of the impact of alcohol. Heavy alcohol use affects how your body absorbs nutrients such as vitamins B1 and B12, folic acid, and zinc.

 You need to replace the lost nutrients, and one of the best ways to do that is with supplements for alcohol withdrawal. You can also choose herbal supplements to complement your alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
