Mild alcohol withdrawal symptoms are insomnia and tremulousness.  Most patients undergoing alcohol low level withdrawal can be treated safely and effectively as outpatients.  Severe alcohol withdrawals may cause any of the following:

Pharmacologic treatments can reduce the pain levels of withdrawal dramatically.   Common medication used benzodiazepines or Carbamazepine  Haloperidol, beta blockers, clonidine, and phenytoin may be used as adjuncts to a benzodiazepine in the treatment of complications of withdrawal.

The value of these types of medication is that the discomfort of withdrawal is greatly reduces but there use does not address the psychological aspects of alcohol addiction.  Many doctors believe in cold turkey as in the belief that the pain of withdrawal increase the motivation to break the addiction.  On the other hand many doctors believe that intense withdrawal pain deepens the conditioned behavior to use alcohol to escape the pain.

In my work of guiding fasting for addiction, I discovered that juice fasting is the most efficient method to re-establishing homeostasis while rebuilding nutritional reserves.  The state of catabolsim, assists deep tissue and organ regeneration and allows the filtering organs a break from digestion allowing them to focus on cleansing the body.

From what I have witnessed, it would appear that juice fasting reduces the length and discomfort of withdraws.  Juice fasting also can have a transformational effect on values and self images that can cloud the the toxic thinking behind the behavior.
