Alcohol detox can be miserable but not life threatening.
Alcohol detox is a dangerous condition and should never be undergone alone. Alcohol rehab centers provide individuals with a safe and more comfortable atmosphere to undergo alcohol detox. Although it is intimidating to think about the withdrawal symptoms and various other discomforts that can come as a result of alcohol detox, with the help of an alcohol rehab center even the most difficult detoxification conditions can be made more comfortable and overcoming alcohol addiction becomes just a little bit easier.
When you enter into an alcohol rehab center you are likely to being feeling withdrawal symptoms quite soon. Some of the symptoms that the doctors or rehab center staff will be monitoring during your alcohol detox include:
Increased heartbeat
Fever
Nausea and vomiting
Delusions or hallucinations
Seizures or convulsions
Anxiety
Tremors and Dts
Insomnia
