The sufferer of alcohol withdrawal should seek medical attention, especially in more severe cases. Often sufferers of alcohol withdrawal will be given prescriptions for anti-anxiety medication, and should be kept in a relatively stress free environment to prevent worsening of the stress caused from lack of alcohol. In some cases, if the sufferer is at risk of Delerium Tremens, they will need to be treated immediately by medical personnel.
