[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As PP noted, seizures aren't usually caused by withdrawal from opiates, so that doctor was correct to do further testing. Alcohol and benzo withdrawal can cause seizures, and patients in rehab would be transferred to a hospital for further observation/testing/medical care.

It seems as though you want to judge your friends instead of actually understand acute substance withdrawal. Were you in the room with them and their doctor? I'm guessing not. So you don't know what their doctors actually said. You mention 'lies and subterfuge and manipulation' - those behaviors can be consistent with active addiction. But I don't think you actually have a health related question or concern. [/quote]

My friend was withdrawing from alcohol, benzos, and opiates.

I'm trying to understand how seizures affect rehab efforts. I'm trying to understand why (or if) doctors really do ignore the most likely cause of the seizures thereby delaying rehab. And I'm commenting on the phenomenon I see of addicts using their mystery seizures to deflect from the real problem.
