Alcohol Withdrawal in the YK Delta
From Guide to YKHC Medical Practices
Alcohol withdrawal is a frequently encountered condition in the delta. The clinical challenge is to relieve the suffering of the patient (and by proxy, their housemates) while not indulging in interventions which promote further alcohol abuse and/or misuse of health care resources.
Most alcohol withdrawal in the delta is secondary to relatively short-term binges of 3 to 14 days.
