Serious alcohol withdrawal can lead to death. This is why having a medically overseen detox at rehab is essential. This way staff are able to keep you alive and well.

Usually, medications like Librium (benzodiazepine/Chlordiazepoxide) and Buprenorphine are prescribed to make the medically-assisted detox period as smooth as possible.

It’s recommended that you have a medially-assisted detox if you’re physically dependent on alcohol. Also, you’ll get the most from detox if you stay on a while longer in order to benefit from psychological input.
