Today’s educational video will discuss Alcohol Withdrawal. Alcohol withdrawal is what occurs to the mind and body when someone has developed a tolerance to alcohol and decides to stop drinking or cut back on their drinking.

The range of withdrawal signs and symptoms can range from very mild to much more serious withdrawal symptoms and syndromes such as alcoholic hallucinosis, alcohol withdrawal seizures, and alcohol withdrawal delirum aka delirum tremens (DT’s). And unfortunately, death can be an outcome of severe, untreated alcohol withdrawal.

Often times people don’t associate coming off of a legal substance like alcohol with serious consequences. Hopefully this video helps educate and provide useful facts about alcohol withdrawal.

Please watch the video to learn about the common mild to moderate symptoms of withdrawal to the more serious withdrawal syndromes and the common timelines of when these tend to happen.

Thank you for your support and encouragement as always.
