If you love someone who is an alcoholic, or you are struggling with your own alcohol problem, you may be interested in the process of alcohol detoxification. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can range from uncomfortable to life threatening, depending on the severity of the addiction, and detoxification can help with this process.

Alcohol detoxification is simply eliminating alcohol from the body and providing medical assistance for the symptoms of withdrawal that accompany this process. Medical professionals will generally prescribe a limited course of treatment with one of several drugs developed for this purpose. The most common is called Chlordiazepoxide. While I do not like the use of drugs in most cases, I do concede that in certain instances, such as this, they can be extremely helpful and effective in helping someone to recover from a harmful addiction.

The purpose of a raw food cleanse, sometimes called a raw food detox, is to eliminate and cleanse the body of stored toxins. This is accomplished using only raw and preferably organic foods. A this type of cleanse can last anywhere from 7 to 90 days depending on what particular cleansing instructions you choose to follow. The goal of a raw food cleanse is not only to eliminate stored toxins, but also to give your organs such as your kidneys, gall bladder, intestines, stomach, pancreas– all your organs– a rest from the efforts of processing hard-to-digest food products. This type of cleanse will result in a higher level of noticeable wellness and health.

Specifically, a typical raw cleanse will not only utilize 100% raw natural foods, but will also eliminate foods such as meat, dairy, grains, sugar, flour, cooked foods, preservatives, artificial additives such as as MSG, coffee, other types of caffeine, soda, artificial sweeteners and alcohol. Just removing all of these foods from your diet will naturally elevate you to a healthier state of being. The most effective food to cleanse the body is raw food. Raw organic food has about 80% fewer toxins than standard processed foods.

Alcohol detox can be considered an unpleasant but necessary aspect of getting off alcohol and fighting alcoholism. There are usually symptoms of alcohol detox but the range of symptoms are different depending on the person and on how much alcohol they usually drink. Heavy drinkers usually have more severe alcohol withdrawal symptoms than those who did not drink as much alcohol but were still regular, addicted drinkers. Some lucky people do not get symptoms of alcohol detox at all.

You can’t predict what can happen to you when you detox from alcohol so you need to plan for every possibility. You need to have someone with you and you shouldn’t go through it alone. Expect for the process to last up to 72 hours but it can be shorter than that. Any time you have been drinking regularly for years, you can expect to have some symptoms of withdrawl. Talk to your doctor before undergoing detoxification to see whether this can be done at home, whether you can have medications to take for the process and whether there are any health risks involved in alcohol detoxification in your case.

Question by Lynne Ayers: 7 day Alcohol Detox – Chlordiazepoxide?
I am looking to start a 7 day detox from alcohol today. Am really nervous as dont like taking medication and worry about feeling ‘out of it’, as I am on my own and raising my young child. Are ther severe side effects when taking? My dosage comes in 5mg tablets and the first day I take 80mg, (20mg 4 times a day) then reduces so on day 7, i will only take one tablet then I’m finished. What happens after is also a concern. I am not a heavy drinker, but wanted to get help with not drinking every evening, hence the prescription. I am tempted to not take and use strong will and jsut not drink. Any advice would be great.

Detoxing from drugs or alcohol at home can be dangerous, but not for the reasons that many might think. Thanks to the glamorization – and sometimes dramatization – of detox and drug rehab, some addicts and alcoholics never seek help for their problem because of what has been portrayed on the subject by Hollywood and the media. But whether any of these portrayals are accurate or not is hardly significant – the problem is that few of them address the fact that in some cases it can be deadly to detox from drugs or alcohol at home. In fact, Amy Winehouse’s family recently told the press that they think she died as a result of detoxing from alcohol at home too quickly. And if there’s any lesson to be learned here, it’s that detox should always occur in a medically-equipped facility.

Of all the substances that a person can detox from, alcohol is the most dangerous. This is a disturbing figure considering that; “It is estimated that only 10 to 20 percent of patients undergoing alcohol withdrawal are treated as inpatients, so it is possible that as many as 2 million Americans may experience symptoms of alcohol withdrawal conditions each year.” This means that alcohol is not only the most commonly abused substance; it is also the substance that the most people detox from at home. Unfortunately, many people who attempt this outside of a treatment center will be so overwhelmed by the symptoms of Acute Withdrawal Syndrome that they will return to drinking in order to alleviate the pain and discomfort caused by the detox process.
