Article: Alcohol use, screening, and brief intervention among pregnant persons - 24 U.S. Jurisdictions, 2017 and 2019.
**CORRECTION: In this episode it was stated that alcohol is the only substance that you can die from in withdrawal. Thanks to one of our group members correcting us on this, we want to acknowledge that you can also die in withdrawal from other substances such as opioids and benzodiazepines.
In alcohol withdrawal individuals may experience delirium tremens (DTs) which can present as confusion, disorientation, hyperactivity, seizures, heart attack, and stroke, which can be fatal. Similarly, individuals who have been drinking heavily for a prolonged period of time are more likely to experience seizures during the detox and withdrawal process which can be fatal.
For opiates, death in withdrawal is uncommon but can occur. Withdrawal symptoms often include Dysphoria, insomnia, pupillary dilation, piloerection, yawning, muscle aches, lacrimation, rhinorrhea, nausea, fever, sweating, vomiting, and diarrhea. Persistent vomiting and diarrhea may lead to dehydration and elevated blood sodium levels, if untreated, and lead to heart failure.
For benzodiazepines, if you suddenly stop taking benzodiazepines you may experience withdrawal symptoms such as mood changes, muscle pain, shaking, vomiting, tremors, anxiety, insomnia, hallucinations, and seizures. In some cases, the seizures can cause brain damage and death.
