Several bottles a day intake; AUD severe. First go of it. No real quit attempts so no knowledge of withdrawal intensity. Gastric bypass history, too. Recommended inpatient detox. Patient resistant, wants outpatient detox. Exploring all options for possible outpatient.
Consult at one Big Box chain, focuses on opioids. Chain is one of the places all the non-psych specialists with an X number sideline at, cardiology, EM, OB, etc. ARNP told patient doesn't need nor warrant inpatient detox, nor benzos, go home and sweat it out.
Patient mounted symptoms 48-72 hours in and resumed drinking.
