Alcohol withdrawal is a time period after an alcoholic stops drinking. This timeframe produces some symptoms that are called alcohol withdrawal syndrome. This occurs in the first day that the drinker stops and can last for up to 2 weeks.
Hot sweats, hallucinations, vomiting, anxiety and sleeping problems are just a handful of the effects. Sleeping problems can occur months after alcohol consumption has ceased. The severity all depends on the level of alcohol consumption previously.
Treatment for alcohol withdrawal is available. Rehab clinics take alcohol withdrawal seriously and prescribed medication is issued on arrival.
