Direct answer
The address of the Alcohol Dependence Department of Zhengzhou North Hospital is No. 21, Jingsan Road, Jinshui District, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province. The consultation phone number is 0371-65338120. The core work is to first assess the degree of alcohol dependence and withdrawal risk, then determine whether outpatient or inpatient treatment is needed, whether medication assistance is required, and whether concurrent physical and psychiatric comorbidities need to be addressed simultaneously. Whether hospitalization is required is decided jointly by the doctor after evaluation, together with the patient and their family members, and patients are not admitted by coercive means.
Drinking a lot does not necessarily mean hospitalization is required, nor does being able to work mean there is no problem. In the following situations, it is recommended to seek professional evaluation as soon as possible.
Not drinking leads to hand tremors, sweating, palpitations, insomnia, nausea, and even hallucinations or seizures. These are withdrawal reactions, and quitting abruptly on your own carries risks; alcohol cessation should be done under medical supervision.
Repeatedly saying they should drink less or quit, but in reality unable to control the amount and timing. This is the core feature of dependence; repeated failure through willpower alone is a common outcome and does not reflect a character flaw.
Abnormal liver function, pancreatitis, gastrointestinal bleeding, hypertension, and significant memory decline. Continuing to drink at this point compounds the risks; it is recommended to undergo evaluation and address the physical issues concurrently.
Accompanied by pronounced anxiety, depression, or irritability, or the emergence of family conflict or difficulty maintaining employment. Such cases typically require psychotherapy and family guidance to be introduced simultaneously.
From the first communication to post-discharge rehabilitation support, every step is explained before it is carried out.
Describe the number of years of drinking, approximate daily alcohol intake, reactions after stopping drinking, past treatment history, and current physical condition. This step is used to determine the level of urgency.
Including assessment of dependence severity, evaluation of withdrawal risk, necessary physical examinations and mental status assessments, and confirmation of whether there are comorbid conditions requiring concurrent management.
Based on the assessment results, it will be determined whether outpatient or inpatient treatment is needed, whether medication-assisted detoxification is required, and how psychological therapy should be arranged. The plan will be explained to the patient and their family members.
Discharge does not mean it is over. You will be given a plan to prevent relapse, the schedule for follow-up visits, and key points for family cooperation. How to handle a relapse will also be explained in advance.
Alcohol dependence is a problem involving both the body and the mind, and relying on a single approach is usually not enough.
Provide medical support for withdrawal symptoms to reduce the risks during the process of stopping alcohol, rather than making the patient tough it out.
Use under physician assessment to relieve withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, or manage comorbidities. Medication regimens are individualized; there is no universally effective drug.
Addressing the emotions, stress, and behavioral patterns behind drinking, and establishing actionable coping strategies, is more critical for reducing relapse.
When comorbid anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, or physical illnesses are present, assess and manage them concurrently to avoid stopping alcohol while the root cause remains unresolved.
Regardless of which one you choose, it is recommended to first confirm the medical institution's practice license, whether an assessment is conducted before determining the treatment plan, and whether the principle of voluntary treatment is followed. A complete checklist and common pitfalls are explained item by item in the general guide.
For trips within the province, the distance is short, and the main process is same-day assessment and same-day decision-making; for cross-province trips, a remote assessment must first be conducted to determine whether long-distance travel is suitable, and medical insurance cross-regional medical treatment filing must be completed in advance. In both cases, it is recommended to first confirm bed availability and arrival time by phone before deciding on the mode of transportation.
First review these questions, then decide whether to call for consultation.

Usually, you should register for the addiction clinic (alcohol cessation) or the psychiatry department (addiction medicine direction). If you are unsure, you can first call to explain the situation, and the staff will tell you which department to register for and what materials to bring.
Family members may first come alone to communicate or call for consultation to learn how to broach the topic and when it is more appropriate to talk. China's Mental Health Law establishes the principle of voluntary inpatient treatment, and legitimate institutions will not provide services involving forcibly binding people and admitting them to the hospital.
The duration depends on the degree of dependence, withdrawal risk, and comorbid conditions, and is typically assessed in weeks. The costs are for reference only: registration fee starts at 2 yuan, and for most patients, the overall treatment cost for one month is within 8,000 yuan, subject to the assessment results and actual charges.
We recommend calling ahead to confirm bed availability and arrival time to avoid a wasted trip. If noticeable withdrawal symptoms have already appeared on the way, please inform us in advance so that arrangements can be made.
