Immediate danger or severe symptoms
Call 999 or go to A&E for a medical emergency, immediate danger, or severe alcohol withdrawal such as seizures, hallucinations or confusion. Do not wait for a private treatment enquiry to be answered.
Planning to stop alcohol or medicines
If you may be dependent on alcohol, seek medical advice before stopping suddenly. Speak to the prescriber before reducing or stopping dependence-forming medicines such as benzodiazepines.
Finding support
