What will happen in alcohol detoxification?
1 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not sure what u mean: Are you talking about the PLACE or the EVENT? If you are dependent on alcohol, detoxification is usually the elimination of alcohol and its replacement with ever-decreasing doses of cross-tolerant drugs like benzodiazepines (librium, ativan). It also involves vitamins, good nutrition and counseling to try to help avoid relapse and deal with life. The place where it happens can be hospital/other.
