Frequent, heavy alcohol abuse can lead to physical dependency which causes withdrawal symptoms when attempting to stop drinking.

With frequent, long-term alcohol use, the body becomes dependent on alcohol and adjusts normal function to the constant presence of alcohol to counteract its effects. When alcohol is taken away, the body cannot adjust back quickly enough which causes it to go into shock and exhibit withdrawal symptoms, which can range from mild to severe, even being life-threatening. Symptoms can include:

• Headaches
• Anxiety
• Tremors or shakes
• Fatigue
• Mood changes
• Insomnia
• Nausea and vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Heart palpitations
• Increased blood pressure
• Increased heart rate
• Hyperthermia
• Rapid, abnormal breathing
• Hallucination
• Seizures

Every person’s experience with alcohol detox is different. In general, most people will detox within 7 to 10 days and range in severity. Factors such as age, weight, sex, length of alcohol use, the severity of alcohol abuse, the presence of co-occurring disorders, and the use of other substances can all influence how long the body takes to detox. Some people may experience mild, lingering withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or fatigue for weeks or months later, which is referred to as post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS).

What to expect during alcohol detox is difficult to predict, including how severe and long withdrawal symptoms will be. However, a general alcohol detox timeline may look like this:

• Within 6 to 12 hours after the last drink: mild symptoms such as headaches, nausea, anxiety, and tremors will begin.
• Within 24 hours: people can begin to experience visual, auditory, or tactile hallucinations.
• Within 24 to 72 hours: various symptoms will peak and begin to level off. However, seizure risk is at its highest from 24 to 48 hours after the last drink. Delirium tremens may appear from 48 to 72 hours after the last drink.
• 7 days later: most acute symptoms have resolved.
