Detox is an ideal first step toward recovery from an AUD, but detoxification alone is rarely sufficient in helping a person achieve long-term abstinence. Detoxification is a set of interventions designed to help someone safely and comfortably withdraw from alcohol, which will then position a person to transition into a formal and typically longer-lasting treatment program.
Before entering a detoxification center, a physician will need to thoroughly assess a patient’s experience with alcohol abuse, previous withdrawal experiences (if any), and their medical and psychiatric history to determine their withdrawal risk. For the sake of this assessment, patients may also undergo blood tests and screening for the presence of any co-occurring mental or physical health issues.
