I am going to be starting an ambulatory detox program soon and am wondering if any one who has done the same can tell me what to expect.

DETOXIFICATION
Withdrawal from alcohol is done in a controlled, supervised setting in which medications relieve symptoms. Detoxification usually takes 4 to 7 days.
Examination for other medical problems is necessary. For example, liver and blood clotting problems are common.
A balanced diet with vitamin supplements is important. Complications can occur with alcohol withdrawal, such as delirium tremens (DT’s), which could be fatal. Depression or other mood disorders should be evaluated and treated. Often, alcohol abuse develops from efforts to self-treat an illness.
