I need to help my husband at home with detox. He hasn't had drink in 24 hours and is pucking bad. what kinds of vitamins or things does he need to get through this?
Hey all, well i did it, little over 30 days clean and home from rehab. It feels great to be home and back in the swing of things. I am feeling and doing great and last night was the first night i actually slept, i am finally starting to feel good and its a great feeling. I have allot of work to do making amends with the hubby but over all its going great. I already visited my therapist at home and i will be seeing her 2 times a week.
That is 1) We admitted we were powerless over alcohol, and that our lives have become unmanageable. So many people get through the detox, at home (which can be dangerous and is often done though a medically supervised detox).It's like it's all or nothing. Those that don't have the opportunity to go to a residential / outpatient Rehab Facility do not instead go to an Addictions Therapist and use them for the therapy that is many times necessary to quit an addictive substance.
5 yrs ago dua to a break in my job i started taking alcohol in evening at home.(normally 2 large pegs).My wife is well educated female and we had a love marriage.Every thing was going fine til my job ended unexpectedly.I thought its not a big deal as i am well educated with superb personality and communication skill.At that point i thought to take rest of 15 days at home then i would look out for new job but god had something else in stored for me.
I do not believe that taking him to a rehab facility would mean he would get in trouble at all. I am currently in an outpatient rehab, and I have told them some terrible things that I did to get my DOC (drug of choice), but they did not tell on me to anyone. I don't think any rehabs do that.
It is my understanding that outpatient rehabs are more affordable than inpatient rehabs. I have just recently been told about and am researching rehab scholarships.
I just returned from a womans' detox and it was the best thing I ever did. I was able to withdraw from both alcohol and opiates in a safe place. I couldn't do it at home, not while I still had to go to work, and also worry my family. I was in a nice room with 5 others, then went to me own room, and I could stay as long as I wanted before I had an aftercare program set up. I arranged for all of that while in rehab, so I was prepared when I got out.
I had to travel far to another Dr and he wanted me to do the Subs..Well I could of done this at home. I tried them for 4 days and took over them and did them SO wrong that it just made me even sicker. The Staff should of told me NO that this was the Dr orders or go and talk to the Dr..PLUS this Dr did not even consider my Benzo use. That one was just cut out and I should of been tapered with something lesser..(Benzo) The adderral was NOT even considered and it was Bad to w/d from.
When you first go to a treatment program, they have you stay in a nursing station, where they help you get through withdrawal, by giving you something to settle down and sleep. A doctor can similarly help you to do this. If you have a person at home with you, that can go to a doctor with you, and be there to give you some medication to help you through withdrawal, you will have gone the same route as rehab detox.
What are the best medications to be on for an at home alcohol detox? Can I detox safely by slowly lowering my alcohol intake over the next week instead? I have at home now the following: blood pressure cuff, klonopin and atenolol, also lasix and potassium pills. My biggest concern is my blood pressure spiking. There in no way I am able to detox at an alcohol facility. So if I can't use the meds I have available to me, maybe I should do the taper using less alcohol each day?

Only reason for Lithium in my book is BiPolar. Since I'm BiPolar and have been considering Lithium, Ill take the hand shaking thing into consideration but I'm also a recovering alcoholic so I would never combine the two together. I used alcohol to medicate the BiPolar and somewhere crossed the line and became a little pickled and couldn't stop!
Speaking from my experience, rehab always sucked bad in the beginning. But I almost always met people and connected with them quickly which made things go a lot smoother.
In the places where I stayed, it was also 2 to a room. No TV's other than one in the main hall. Food's never that great - it's essentially hospital food so it is nutritious - just not delicious. There's a smoking area outside of the cottage.
