Mom went to detox and I have some questions
Last Wednesday my Mother went to a detox program. She was released on Monday. I think it was to short a stay and I also think she should have went to a rehab program. She refuses to go.
When she went to the hospital on weds. her alcohol level was 285. She had been drinking alot since she found out my father has inoberable lung cancer. Does anyone know how long it takes to get that much alcohol out of your system? She still sounds like she is drunk when I talk to her. She also thinks she has an ear infection because she is dizzy all of the time. I don't believe that she is drinking right now because we got rid of everything in the house and she isn't allowed to drive.
I am afraid she might be having a stroke or something. I anyone can shed any light on the detox process I would really appreciate it. Her doctor did give her pills to help her sleep. Could those make her slur her speech and forget things and barely be able to walk. Or could it be the detox process.
Thank you for any info anyone can give I am very worried about her.
