I’m talking like for a serious alcoholic…
This person is currently in the hospital and not had any alcohol in several days, not sure exactly how long. But he’s already almost died once, over the weekend, but now they are saying the same thing again that he may not make it through the night tonight.

I have a friend who is an alcholoic. She also suffers from hypertension and anxiety and panic attacks. She is on a host of meds for the hypertension and ativan for the anxiety and panic attaacks.
She wants to stop drinking but cannot find a hospital due to her insurance. She also doesnt have the money to go to a rehab hospital so I was curious what meds they would give her, and if she can do this by possibly increasing the ativan
