Abstract
Most community-referred, ambulatory chronic alcoholics can be detoxified quickly and safely without use of psychoactive drugs. Such detoxification can be done most efficiently in a social setting, with the aid of a staff who will provide reassurance and reality orientation and who will monitor the patients'' vital signs, general condition, and any specific problems.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
