治疗的主要目的是减少戒断症状、帮助远期戒酒、发现和治疗并发的躯体或精神疾病。[67]Alcohol withdrawal syndrome: how to predict, prevent, diagnose and treat it. Prescrire Int. 2007;16:24-31.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17323538?tool=bestpractice.com治疗包括处理戒断症状和预防复发。通过咨询或药物来预防复发。
轻微的 AWS 患者可以在门诊接受治疗以及谨慎随访。家庭环境不稳定的患者或重度 AWS 患者需要住院治疗,包括药物和支持性干预措施。
重度 AWS 及存在精神或躯体疾病患者需要高水平护理(例如入住 ICU),并增加苯二氮䓬类药物剂量。在该患者人群中,并发症发生率和死亡率较高。重度 AWS 患者中有一部分对苯二氮䓬类药物耐药,可能需要辅助药物治疗。[68]Martin K, Katz A. The role of barbiturates for alcohol withdrawal syndrome.

入院标准
对于以下患者,应收住院,给予药物辅助酒精戒断:[71]National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. Alcohol-use disorders: diagnosis and clinical management of alcohol-related physical complications. April 2017. https://www.nice.org.uk/ (last accessed 20 May 2017).https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg100
此外,对于有失代偿性疾病、严重电解质异常、血清乙醇<20 mg/dL 时 CIWA-Ar 量表评分>15 分,或者有震颤谵妄或酒精戒断性癫痫发作病史的患者,应当考虑收入院。[72]Stephens JR, Liles EA, Dancel R, et al. Who needs inpatient detox?

药物疗法
苯二氮䓬类药物是酒精戒断症状以及酒精戒断相关性癫痫发作的一线治疗药物。[9]Schmidt KJ, Doshi MR, Holzhausen JM, et al. Treatment of severe alcohol withdrawal.

对于酒精戒断性癫痫发作患者,使用苯二氮䓬类药物比使用安慰剂更有效。[77]Amato L, Minozzi S, Vecchi S, et al. Benzodiazepines for alcohol withdrawal. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2010;(3):CD005063.http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD005063.pub3/fullhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20238336?tool=bestpractice.com [
]What are the effects of benzodiazepines in people with alcohol withdrawal?http://cochraneclinicalanswers.com/doi/10.1002/cca.493/full显示答案 没有哪一种苯二氮䓬类药物优于另一种,但有一些(无统计学意义)数据显示,氯氮卓可能比其他药物更有效。[77]Amato L, Minozzi S, Vecchi S, et al. Benzodiazepines for alcohol withdrawal. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2010;(3):CD005063.http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD005063.pub3/fullhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20238336?tool=bestpractice.com口服药物适合用于有轻度戒断症状的患者,但对于中至重度 AWS,首选苯二氮䓬类药物静脉给药。对肝衰竭的患者,劳拉西泮比氯氮卓在避免过度镇静方面要好一些,
酒精性癫痫通常是自限性的,对于复发性癫痫发作或癫痫持续状态,应使用苯二氮卓类药物治疗,同时要完善检查,以排除导致癫痫发作的其他原因。对于酒精所致癫痫持续状态的初始治疗,静脉注射劳拉西泮是安全有效的。[75]Bråthen G, Ben-Menachem E, Brodtkorb E, et al. Chapter 29: alcohol-related seizures. EFNS guidelines of alcohol-related seizures. In: Gilhus NE, Barnes MP, Brainin M, eds. European handbook of neurological management. 2nd ed, v1. Oxford, UK: Blackwell publishing; 2011:429-436.http://www.efns.org/fileadmin/user_upload/guidline_papers/EFNS_guideline_2011_Alcohol-related_seizures.pdf静脉使用地西泮是一种很好的替代选择。[73]Long D, Long B, Koyfman A. The emergency medicine management of severe alcohol withdrawal. Am J Emerg Med. 2017 Feb 4. [Epub ahead of print]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28188055?tool=bestpractice.com[75]Bråthen G, Ben-Menachem E, Brodtkorb E, et al. Chapter 29: alcohol-related seizures.

不推荐使用抗精神病药物,例如氟哌啶醇,因为没有证据显示它们可带来益处,并且还可能降低癫痫发作的阈值。
苯二氮卓类药物治疗的并发症包括过度镇静,较少见的还有呼吸抑制。因而需要频繁评估。首选长效苯二氮䓬类药物,但对于肝病患者,应使用短效苯二氮䓬类药物,以防止过度镇静。
应用苯二氮䓬类药物治疗有两种方法:[78]Skinner RT. Symptom-triggered vs. fixed-dosing management of alcohol withdrawal syndrome. Medsurg Nurs. 2014;23:307-315, 329.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26292436?tool=bestpractice.com
治疗失败的门诊患者,可能需要更高剂量的苯二氮䓬类药物,并且他们可能需要住院接受进一步治疗。入院患者需要连续的心脏和脉搏血氧监护,并且可能需要重症监护治疗。
辅助治疗
对于需要增加苯二氮䓬类药物剂量以缓解重度戒断和震颤谵妄的患者,使用苯巴比妥可能有益。[79]Gold JA, Rimal B, Nolan A, et al. A strategy of escalating doses of benzodiazepines and phenobarbital administration reduces the need for mechanical ventilation in delirium tremens. Care Med. 2007;35:724-730.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3417045/http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17255852?tool=bestpractice.com它可以降低对机械通气的需求以及减少 ICU 入住数。[79]Gold JA, Rimal B, Nolan A, et al. A strategy of escalating doses of benzodiazepines and phenobarbital administration reduces the need for mechanical ventilation in delirium tremens. Care Med. 2007;35:724-730.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3417045/http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17255852?tool=bestpractice.com[80]Rosenson J, Clements C, Simon B, et al.

J Emerg Med. 2013;44:592-598.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22999778?tool=bestpractice.com
右美托咪定是一种镇静剂,在 ICU 可以用作苯二氮䓬类药物的辅助药物治疗 AWS,但证据有限。来自一项小型随机试验的数据显示,接受右美托咪定治疗的患者可能需要减少苯二氮䓬类药物的使用剂量。[81]Mueller SW, Preslaski CR, Kiser TH, et al. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled dose range study of dexmedetomidine as adjunctive therapy for alcohol withdrawal. Crit Care Med. 2014;42:1131-1139.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24351375?tool=bestpractice.com病例系列研究报告了类似结果。[82]Woods AD, Giometti R, Weeks SM. The use of dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to benzodiazepine-based therapy to decrease the severity of delirium in alcohol withdrawal in adult intensive care unit patients: a systematic review. JBI Database System Rev Implement Rep. 2015;13:224-252.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26447017?tool=bestpractice.com右美托咪定缺乏 GABA 受体活性,不能减少戒断相关性癫痫发作。因此,它仅应作为苯二氮䓬类药物的辅助药物开具。
丙泊酚是一种麻醉药物,仅用于对苯二氮䓬类药物耐药的患者或需要机械通气的患者。[83]Sohraby R, Attridge RL, Hughes DW. Use of propofol-containing versus benzodiazepine regimens for alcohol withdrawal requiring mechanical ventilation. Ann Pharmacother. 2014;48:456-461.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24436457?tool=bestpractice.com该药似乎有效,但是可显著增加临床护理,包括 ICU 入住时长和住院时长。[12]Dixit D, Endicott J, Burry L, et al. Management of acute alcohol withdrawal syndrome in critically ill patients. Pharmacotherapy. 2016;36:797-822.http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/phar.1770/fullhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27196747?tool=bestpractice.com[84]Wong A, Benedict NJ, Lohr BR, et al.

Drug Alcohol Depend. 2015;154:296-299.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26205315?tool=bestpractice.com丙泊酚可以导致呼吸抑制;开始接受丙泊酚治疗的患者需要入住 ICU。
补充维生素
对于可能有维生素缺乏的酒精滥用患者,应当考虑补充维生素。补充维生素 B1 可降低韦尼克脑病和 Korsakoff 综合征的风险。慢性饮酒会导致维生素 B1 吸收减少,因而建议静脉给药或肌内注射给药。[12]Dixit D, Endicott J, Burry L, et al. Management of acute alcohol withdrawal syndrome in critically ill patients. Pharmacotherapy. 2016;36:797-822.http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/phar.1770/fullhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27196747?tool=bestpractice.com如果怀疑韦尼克脑病,则给予高剂量维生素 B1。[9]Schmidt KJ, Doshi MR, Holzhausen JM, et al. Treatment of severe alcohol withdrawal. Ann Pharmacother. 2016;50:389-401.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26861990?tool=bestpractice.com
在纠正慢性酒精中毒患者的低镁血症方面,尚无关于镁剂具体用药剂量的建议。在紧急情况下,重度低镁血症 (<1 mg/dL) 和有症状的患者可能需要经静脉输注高达 2g 的硫酸镁。定期检查患者深部腱反射和呼吸情况,防止出现高镁血症。应当向医院专科医生和初级医疗医生咨询,进一步治疗低镁血症。[85]Ferri FF. Practical guide to the care of the medical patient. 7th ed. Philadelphia, PA: Mosby-Elsevier; 2007.
进一步治疗
成功处理戒断症状后,为防止继续酒精滥用,应将患者转诊至支持团体或者接受认知行为治疗或医学治疗。
