That depends on a large number of factors. However, your physician could give you a general idea, and detoxification should always be done under close medical supervision. The same is true of drug detox.

Alcohol withdrawal symptoms typically peak within the first 24-72 hours after the last drink and can last for a few days to a week. However, in some cases, withdrawal symptoms may persist for weeks or even months, depending on the severity of the alcohol dependence and individual factors. It is important to seek medical supervision during the detox process to manage symptoms and prevent complications.

Alcohol rehab will take different lengths of time. Many times people go for a 6 week stay, but can stay as long as a year in severe cases.

Is alcohol withdrawal worse than heroine withdrawal?

I don't think that saying that "alcohol withdrawal is "worse" than heroin withdrawal" is a helpful comparison. A better way of saying it would be to say that "alcohol withdrawal is more dangerous than heroin withdrawal." The primary reason that alcohol withdrawal is considered to be more dangerous than heroin withdrawal is because with alcohol withdrawal, if not under medical supervision, there is a very good chance of death (due to the seizures that often accompany withdrawal I believe). Now this isn't to say that you WILL die. But why take that chance? (I have heard that you can die from heroin withdrawal too, but I believe that that is an extremely rare). I am currently trying to quit drinking, but have had several medical professionals tell me not to quit drinking yet because I am not yet in a medical facility. I know it sounds strange, but continuing to drink is something an alcoholic should do until they can be under medical observation. Reagardless, the main point of the comparison is to break this myth than an alcoholic could/should just say "I'm not going to drink anymore" and just sit at home detoxing by themselves, because there is a very significant chance that they could die. If you are an alcoholic, and are trying to quit drinking, you should consult some sort of medical professional, preferrably a specialist in alcohol recovery, who can advise you in the steps you need to take to overcome your addiction without putting your life in jeopardy.
