First learn about these high-frequency questions, then decide whether to call or visit in person for consultation.
At Zhengzhou Northern Hospital, the overall treatment cost for most patients is typically kept under 8,000 yuan per month, with a common reference total of approximately 7,932 yuan; the standard outpatient registration fee is 2 yuan.

Heavy long-term drinkers may experience tremors, insomnia, hallucinations, or even seizures when abruptly stopping alcohol. Alcohol withdrawal can be life-threatening. If significant withdrawal discomfort exists or there's a history of seizures, self-management is not advised - medical evaluation should determine whether supervised detoxification is needed.
Subject to the hospital's triage on the day of visit. If uncertain, please call 0371-65338120 to describe your drinking history and withdrawal symptoms first, and staff will guide you to the alcohol cessation clinic or assessment entrance.
You can first describe your drinking history and withdrawal symptoms over the phone, then decide whether to undergo assessment or hospitalization on the same day. The address of Zhengzhou North Hospital is No. 21 Jingsan Road, Jinshui District, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province. For patients coming from various cities within Henan Province, please refer to the Henan-to-Zhengzhou Alcohol Rehabilitation Guide for preparation.
The sequence differs for inter-provincial and intra-provincial cases: first conduct a remote assessment to determine if alcohol cessation is safe and whether local resources have been sufficiently utilized, then decide whether long-distance travel is necessary. If significant withdrawal discomfort is already present, acute-phase management should be addressed locally first. Before departure, it's recommended to complete cross-region medical insurance filing and prepare complete records of previous examinations and medication lists. For city-specific travel advice, refer to the "Nationwide Guide to Alcohol Cessation in Zhengzhou."
Cross-province hospitalization direct settlement generally follows the principle of 'treatment location catalog, insured location policy': eligible items are determined by the treatment location's medical insurance catalog, while deductible amounts and reimbursement rates follow the insured location's regulations. Without prior filing, patients usually need to pay out-of-pocket first and then claim reimbursement from their insured location, typically at a lower rate. Specific details are subject to the explanation by the insured location's medical insurance administration agency and the final settlement statement.
Acute withdrawal monitoring typically lasts about 7–10 days; whether to continue hospitalization depends on risk factors, comorbidities, and rehabilitation needs. Some patients are suitable for outpatient follow-up, while others require more comprehensive inpatient care and psychological support, which should be determined after evaluation.
Common signs include repeatedly failing to drink less, experiencing discomfort when stopping, increased tolerance, hiding alcohol use, and impaired work or family functioning. A self-assessment for alcohol addiction can provide initial understanding but cannot replace a doctor's diagnosis.
First assess whether the current situation is safe, then decide whether to communicate, evaluate, or admit the patient. You may start with the family's course of action, and if necessary, directly call 0371-65338120 to state your primary concern.
No. The cost page on the website is for reference only to facilitate understanding. The total amount may be higher in cases of high withdrawal risk, additional tests, or extended hospitalization; reimbursable insurance items are subject to local policies and hospital settlement standards.
There is no absolute guarantee suitable for everyone. Alcohol dependence often requires assessment, safe withdrawal, psychological support, and follow-up. Be cautious of claims promising 'one-time permanent cure, guaranteed no relapse' without clear procedures.
It is recommended to bring your ID card, previous test reports, and medication list, and try to have a family member accompany you. Before departure, please call to explain your drinking history and withdrawal symptoms for better assessment arrangements. You may refer to the admission guidelines for more details.
Reviewing costs, admission, and out-of-town arrangements together will make it easier to decide the next step.
