If you’ve been drinking consistently for any amount of time, you may notice certain differences once you stop drinking\u00a0for even a day<\/a>. It could be a bad headache or poor mood, but there’s always something wrong when you cut out alcohol. What’s happening in these cases is that your brain has become dependent on the presence of alcohol, altering its baseline level of function over time.<\/p>\n Detoxing from alcohol<\/a>\u00a0starts from the moment you have your last drink, and it comes with side effects known as withdrawal symptoms. It’s common for those suffering from alcohol use disorder (SUD) to experience severe withdrawal symptoms that can range from mildly uncomfortable to life-threatening depending on how heavily alcohol has been abused.<\/p>\n Withdrawals can be felt when ending consumption of any substance that has been abused over long periods of time. For alcohol, these symptoms occur due to the brain being depressed while under the influence meaning certain functions and reactions within the brain are essentially turned off. This is what gives you a feeling of relaxation when you drink as anxious or stressful thoughts are suppressed.<\/p>\n Since the brain no longer needs to do any extra work to help improve your mood due to the presence of alcohol, it starts losing its natural ability to do so. Remove alcohol from the equation and your brain is left in a state of panic as it has to learn how to function in a sober environment, sometimes for the first time in years.<\/p>\n The first symptoms felt during your detox from alcohol can occur in as little as two hours and can last for up to five days, although most subside much sooner. A majority of symptoms will arise within the first 48 hours and reduce in severity from there, all of which can be helped with\u00a0medical detox<\/a>.<\/p>\n This will be when the more uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms start, including:<\/p>\n Typically you’ll start feeling the first set of symptoms lessen while other, often more serious ones begin, such as:<\/p>\n Severe withdrawal symptoms and\u00a0delirium tremens<\/a>\u00a0will be at their peak leading up to the 48 hour mark. Previous withdrawal symptoms may become even stronger with additional side effects including:<\/p>\n When you’re able to go into recovery knowing that you’ll be able to safely make it through detox, your chances at a successful treatment program can increase significantly.
