I'm male...I was in the hospital late last year and was prescribed folic acid and thiamine when I was there because I told them of my daily moderate drinking, which, of course, I couldn't do in a psych hospital.
Generally, when anyone goes into detox, folic acid and thiamine are given daily because those are two nutrients that are supposedly depleted by drinking regularly.
