Just be their friend, and let them dump on you, abuse you, scream at you, beg you, keep you awake, and whatever they need to do to get through it.

Well if you dont know what to do please go to a hospital er o contact a medic´cause they can usually be treated by health care providers on an out-patient basis, but if he or she is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms HE must be treated in a hospital or a facility that specializes in detoxification.

If HE/SHE IS experiencing alcohol withdrawal symptoms, seek medical attention immediately!

You can contact your family physician or healthcare provider, the local emergency room or urgent care center so that they can do an assessment of the severity of your friend´s withdrawal symptoms.

The goals for healthcare providers are to treat the immediate withdrawal symptoms, prevent complications, and begin long-term preventative therapy.

The person being treated for withdrawal usually will have to stay at the hospital for observation at least initially, so that heart rate, breathing, body temperature, and blood pressure can be monitored, as well as fluids and electrolytes (chemicals in the body such as sodium and potassium).
