Little is known about fears experienced during alcohol detoxification. Using qualitative research this preliminary study analysed descriptions of fears during one-to-one interviews about the experience of undertaking alcohol detoxification. Fears about detoxification centred around four main areas: the setting in which the process takes place, the physical consequences of withdrawal, the medication given to manage detoxification and the experience of future daily living without alcohol. The findings suggest that particular attention needs to be paid to the environmental setting of detoxification and the personal meaning of receiving medical care for withdrawal. In addition, more integration of relapse prevention work into the earliest stages of alcohol-related treatment and the provision of accurate information about detoxification may prove effective in reducing fears about the process.
关于酒精戒断期间所经历的恐惧，人们知之甚少。本初步研究采用定性研究方法，分析了在一对一访谈中关于进行酒精戒断经历的恐惧描述。对戒断的恐惧主要集中在四个主要方面：戒断过程发生的环境、戒断的身体后果、用于管理戒断的药物以及无酒精的未来日常生活体验。研究结果表明，需要特别关注戒断的环境设置以及接受戒断医疗护理的个人意义。此外，将预防复发工作更多地融入与酒精相关治疗的最早阶段，以及提供有关戒断的准确信息，可能会有效减少对该过程的恐惧。
