Detox on the N H S

Posted , 6 users are following.

Hi why does it take 9 months of waiting to have an Alcohol Detox on the N.H.S. ? Guess they are so overstreched. So the only route is to go private if one can afford that is.

      You should not need alcohol when detoxing. The Librium should stop the withdrawal symptoms. What dosage has been recommended/given?

      On the first and second day, it needs to be higher than the other following days and should really be taken, morning, noon, evening and just before bed.

      If you are suffering, it may be the dosage is too low. Drinking whilst detoxing is not helpful and may waste all the money you have spent.
