Definición

  • Sometimes referred to as the "DTs," "the shakes," or "the horrors," substance-induced withdrawal delirium, or delirium tremens (DTs), are an acute episodic delirium that can prove fatal without proper medical management. DTs can occur during withdrawal from tranquilizers, such as barbiturates and benzodi-azepines, but more commonly occur during alcohol withdrawal induced by a period of abstinence following excessive and habitual alcohol use.
