Why alcohol detox needs medical supervision

Alcohol is one of the few substances where stopping suddenly can be life-threatening. Clinical guidance on detoxification describes alcohol withdrawal that can progress to seizures and to delirium tremens (DTs), which can be fatal without medical care. A heavy, long-term drinker should not try to quit alone.

If someone is shaking, sweating heavily, confused, hallucinating, or has had a seizure while cutting back on alcohol, call 911. For a mental health or substance use crisis, call or text 988.

Paying for alcohol treatment in Jacksonville

Florida Medicaid (AHCA) covers medically necessary SUD treatment for eligible members through participating providers. The state has not expanded Medicaid under the ACA, so many adults without children do not qualify. Ask specifically about detox, residential, PHP, IOP, and medications such as naltrexone, acamprosate, and disulfiram.
