During the process of detoxification,the nurse gives enough of a drug (or one to which the person has cross-tolerance)to relieve the withdrawal symptoms.Benzodiazepines like lorazepam (Ativan)have a cross-tolerance with alcohol,so they are used to manage withdrawal symptoms.The detoxification diet would be high in protein.Seclusion would not be initiated before less severe attempts to manage the behavior failed.Attending a support group would not be appropriate for the detoxification stage of rehabilitation.
