This is quite a long story.

Shouldn’t they also be admitted to a treatment center or hospital until they can function normally?
If people admit themselves to the hospital without a referral from their doctor, they could be in jeopardy of losing their job. It should be routine to offer a patient a referral to a hospital or rehab center when withdrawing from anti-depressants.

We often underestimate the health risks of alcohol abuse. Because it is a legal substance–and heavily promoted–we rarely put alcohol abuse into the same mental category as with drugs such as cocaine or heroin.
