Need advice. A friend is planning on going cold Turkey this weekend. She’s been a 24/7 hard liquor drinker for at least a few months I’m not sure quite how long before that. She has no medical insurance to get any medications from a doctor for the detox. Does anyone have any advice or herbal stuff I can recommend that will help her?
I’m not at all a doctor or medical professional. That is really dangerous.
Saying that. She needs to have a step down plan if she has been drinking hard liquor for that long and has no meds. Look up Ham Harm Reduction.
I’ve used it before. Let me know if you have any questions.
I say go to the ER and worry about the bill later. They will hydrate her, monitor her vitals, and possibly send her home with a prescription to help her continue on her own. I know it sucks to have to think about the cost without insurance but she could have seizures detoxing alone. So just get the proper help and deal with the $$ later
