Answer by Artemis
He will need both to actually overcome his anxiety. Medication is useless without counseling, and counseling is usually insufficient on its own.
He’s also developed a dependence on alcohol and that’s a slipper slope into addiction and abuse.
Tread lightly.
You can’t ‘’save” or ”fix” a person that isn’t ready to accept help for themselves. Instead of exhausting and endangering yourself, find a way to amicably leave the relationship and surround yourself with healthy and positive people. You’re going to burn out and feel resentment and guilt if you don’t.

Best answer:

Answer by TNW
“Alcohol detox generally can take anywhere from three to five days to be completed, depending on the pattern of the alcohol abuse and consumption, and the process of which the alcohol detox is being undergone. When alcohol detox is being completed under medical care, medications are usually given to the patient to alleviate the pain of the withdrawal symptoms, and aid in the avoidance of any permanent side effects resulting from the alcohol detox process. Some of the possible lasting effects that can occur as a result of alcohol detox include delirium tremors, also referred to as DTs, convulsions, nausea, headaches, constant shakes and insomnia.”
