I suggest you call those people and follow whatever
directions they give you

We are not a medical site...and our expereinces with
de toxing might or might not be suitable for you.
Tho well meaning..they could actually be harmful.

Sorry to know you are in this situation...

I think the advice given to sharp was right on target. I have only been sober for 30 days (31 today) but have been to a medically supervised detox two times. There they monitor your vitals, give you medications, assess you for P.A.W.S. (post alcohol withdrawal syndrome), do blood work, give you vitamins, make sure you are getting proper nourishment, and at least for me, help begin your path to recovery. So, as you can see, it's a lot more than can be done at home. Why did the ER release you and did they give you detox resources?[/FONT]
