Explanation:

Naloxone (Narcan), an opioid antagonist, is delivered for opioid overdose to treat respiratory depression, sedation and hypertension. Multivitamins and adequate nutrition for clients recovering from alcohol are important. Since malnutrition is widespread, some individuals may need another vitamin substitute. Upon detoxification thiamine (vitamin B1) is introduced, given to decrease ataxia and other deficiency symptoms. It is usually given four times daily orally, 100 mg, but can be administered intramuscularly or by intravenous glucose infusion. The folic acid deficiency is treated four times daily with oral administration of 1.0 mg.Magnesium deficiency is also observed in those with long-term alcohol dependence. Magnesium sulfate is given prophylactically to clients with history of withdrawal seizures, which improves the body's response to thiamine and decreases seizures)
