Because alcohol is addictive - just like any other drug. The patient's body craves a 'fix' of alcohol, and if they don't get it, they get withdrawal symptoms - just as a heroin addict would without their fix. A Detox unit would gradually wean the patient off alcohol under supervision - over a period of weeks - perhaps months. The alcohol is replaced with supervised medication to reduce the effects of withdrawal, and 'trick' the body into thinking it's still getting the alcohol. Medication is gradually reduced until the patient is alcohol free.

What a woman experiences when she leaves an alcoholic spouse?
Each individual woman who leaves her alcoholic spouse feels differently. Some women still love their husbands, but can't take seeing them drunk; possibly losing jobs because of it or costing them friends. Some women are happy they have left an alcoholic spouse because they may have been verbally or physically abused. Then there are some women who are elated to be rid of their alcoholic spouse. If children are involved it can cause financial stress on the woman trying to raise them if the alcoholic husband can not hold down a job; in and out of jail or spends most of their time in a bar. This leaves the woman to find work (some women may have little experience in the workforce) and it is a struggle, but many women manage to get through it. It far better to take the children out of such an environment.
