Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms

AUD stands for Alcohol Use Disorder. This simply means that when a person starts drinking they cannot stop. This is a mental disorder. The continued drinking spree offsets an individual entering into a period of physical withdrawal, which is known as alcohol withdrawal syndrome or AWS.

How Is Heavy Drinking Defined?

Heavy drinking is defined as consuming 35 units of alcohol per week for women and consuming 50 units or more per week for men.

Who Does AWS affect?

AWS does not discriminate. Young and old experience the side effects of alcohol, however, AWS will become worse with age, as the body takes longer to regulate.

How Is AWS Diagnosed?

Methods of diagnosis including the following:

• Blood tests: New Life Marbella Laboratory will provide the relevant blood, stool, and saliva test, dependent on investment level.
• Physical exam: physical assessment is needed to assess symptoms that you are experiencing.
• Medical history: an assessment will be needed to understand how long and how much an individual has been drinking. No patient is the same, therefore, New Life Marbella provides a bespoke approach to treatment.
• Miscellaneous tests: this includes a toxicology screening to measure the amount of alcohol that is in your body and assessments which asks a series of questions relating to your symptoms
