Detox can be fatal in some patients.
Your wife sounds like a candidate for medical
supervision if you guys decide to go through a detox together.
She is lucky to have you help her through it- but
going to AA is not the same as seeing a doctor which is
the safest thing to do.
Many doctors know of resources that are next to free to get her over the hump.
If her body is used to a certain amount of alcohol everyday, she should
be medically supervised or she could die. Seriously.
