Whether medical intervention is necessary depends on the degree of the problem. Many alcoholics have a host of physical ailments due to the substance abuse, and these ailments must be medically treated during rehab, especially if a medically supervised withdrawal is in order. While some addicts undertake their own recovery, there are those who need medical supervision as well. Speak to your physician to determine what approach is best for your situation.
