Alcohol recovery is getting sober, also called alcohol detox. Alcohol abuse and alcoholism lead to a physical dependence on alcohol. The more you drink, the more you need for the same effect. For example, if you need a drink in the morning to steady your nerves, you have built up a dependence on alcohol. During alcohol detox, which lasts roughly 1 to 5 days depending on how much you drink, you may experience withdrawal symptoms as your body adjusts to no alcohol. These symptoms can range from mild to severe depending on your level of drinking and your general health. Increased blood pressure, low grade fever, rapid pulse, heart palpitations. In severe cases, seizures, hallucinations and delusions.
