Symptoms of Alcohol Withdrawal

When you stop drinking alcohol, you may experience withdrawal symptoms that can be uncomfortable and even dangerous.

Alcohol withdrawal should always be treated. Typically, withdrawal symptoms last up to 5 days after you stop drinking.

Withdrawal Symptoms

The typical symptoms include:

• Heart palpitations

• Insomnia

• Heavy sweating

• Hand tremors

• Restlessness

• Anxiety

• Agitation

• Diarrhea

If you experience hallucinations, seizures, confusion, or a temperature above 39°C, you should call emergency services immediately at 112.

To make your withdrawal as safe and comfortable as possible, you will be prescribed a medication called Risolid (Klopoxid).

The medication has a relaxing effect and helps alleviate tremors, hot flashes, and inner agitation, making it easier for you to relax and fall asleep.

The treatment includes:

● Home visits by a doctor
● Examination and assessment
● Dispensing of medication and vitamins
● Phone follow-up with your dedicated doctor
● Possible initiation of medical aftercare

Aftercare

Once the alcohol is out of your system and withdrawal symptoms have subsided, it is important to continue aftercare to ensure lasting sobriety.

At Vitalis Copenhagen, you can choose the aftercare that best suits your needs. We offer both Recovery-focused therapy and medical aftercare with either Campral and/or Antabus.

Detoxification

Recovery-focused therapy

To achieve long-term freedom from alcohol addiction, counseling therapy is essential, as it helps you understand the underlying causes of your alcohol use.

In therapy, you will gain tools to manage alcohol cravings, identify risky situations, develop healthy coping strategies, and address psychological challenges.

Counseling also helps you build new habits and relationships, which are crucial for staying sober and avoiding relapse.

Medical Aftercare

If you have experienced a relapse and need extra support on the road to long-term sobriety, you can opt for medical aftercare, either following detoxification treatment or as a supplement to our Recovery-focused therapy.

We offer treatment with both Campral and/or Antabuse.

Campral helps reduce the cravings for alcohol. Long-term drinking can alter the brain’s chemistry, leading to a persistent desire for alcohol even after stopping. Campral works by restoring balance in the brain, making cravings less intense and it easier to stay sober. It’s a great option for those seeking long-term support to resist temptation.

Antabus works differently – it causes you to feel physically ill if you drink alcohol. This can be an effective solution if you need an extra layer of protection against relapse for a period of time.

No matter which treatment you choose, we are here to support you in staying alcohol-free and returning to a stable and secure daily life.
