You should plan to taper for between three and seven days depending on how much you’re used to drinking. Slowly reduce the amount of alcohol you consume each day until you reach sobriety. If you begin to experience serious withdrawal symptoms, drink enough to make the symptoms subside. If you’re unable to reduce how much you drink, you may have a disease called alcoholism that requires professional addiction treatment. Alcohol rehab helps you taper off alcohol, and it treats other side effects and causes of alcoholism.

The aim of detox is to rid the body of alcohol and drugs as safely, quickly and comfortably as possible. If necessary we prescribe medicines to manage the withdrawal symptoms. The doses are closely monitored and will be reduced over time until the patient has fully detoxed. Alcohol and drug withdrawal can be very dangerous if the process is not managed properly and this is why we have medical staff on duty 24/7 to supervise our detoxing patients.Doctors and nurses are on call 24 hours a day. Some patients arrive already detoxed and start the full daily schedule immediately after their medical assessment.

When patients first enter treatment they begin with our alcohol detox programme. Detox is an important stage of recovery, as it’s important to remove all traces of alcohol and drugs from the body allowing us to begin treating the unpleasant symptoms of withdrawal comfortably and safely. Throughout the detox process, an experienced team of doctors and nurses will support the patient at all times, to ensure their utmost safety and comfort. Our inpatient, on-site environment means that patients can join the daily programme of therapy and counselling as soon as they are physically able. It’s important that patients begin their recovery programme as early as possible. Find additional information on alcohol addiction.
