Alcohol withdrawal can be a very unpleasant process and medically dangerous in some circumstances. Withdrawal from alcohol should be carried out under medical supervision either at home, if appropriate or, more usually, in the safety of a specialist alcohol detox clinic such as DetoxPlus. DetoxPlus has been providing safe inpatient Detox from alcohol now for over 17 years and has specially trained and experienced nurses on duty 24 hours a day as well as a team of experienced support workers, who know what you are going through.

Following a safe detox alcoholism can then be taken control of with a programme of rehabilitation for alcohol, which you can work through yourself at home or you can undertake our specialist programme of rehab for alcohol recovery.  

The detoxification process is well supported by our specialist prescribing Detox doctors and our teams of nurses, support workers and therapists, a number of whom are themselves in long-term recovery.

For ALCOHOL, we normally use a Librium (Chlordiazepoxide) detoxification protocol.

You or your loved one or employee will be assessed pre-admission and again, once you have arrived prior to being prescribed your detox medication to determine the appropriate dose of Librium. Your assessment is based on your withdrawal symptoms, height, weight and how much alcohol you have been drinking prior to your starting your detox.

If the client has a medical reason for not being given a Librium detox (e.g. if the client has liver failure) our G.P's will consider suitable alternatives.

We safeguard against alcohol withdrawal seizures by prescribing Carbamazepine (Tegretol) which is used to minimise the risk of such seizures. In addition you will have the opportunity of benefiting from Pabrinex I.M. on a daily basis for 5 days followed by Thiamine and Vitamin B co strong daily for the remainder of the detox period and for 2 weeks after you have completed your alcohol Detox. All aspects of your medication regime will be discussed with you and fully explained at all times.

All female clients are pregnancy-tested prior to any dose of any medication being given. If a female client is pregnant our G.P's will be consulted prior to commencing any medications.

In addition to the Medicated Detoxification, you will have the benefit of:

1. Access to Auricular Acupuncture to help relieve anxiety and stress

2. 24- hour Qualified Nursing cover support

3. 24- hour project worker / qualified Therapist support

4. Integration into the community of your peers and time to explore long-term recovery

5. Sleepy Teas to help facilitate normal sleep patterns

6. Constant Support 24 hours a day
