Withdrawal from alcohol involves a risk of blood pressure spikes that, combined with vascular damage from alcohol and other sources, could cause strokes. There is an additional risk of both seizures and psychotic episodes. For those reasons, detox should always be medically monitored, preferably in an inpatient setting where medication can be given to ameliorate much of the danger and discomfort.

What should a doctor do if an alcoholic patient comes in with a condition which requires the usage of a drug which should not be mixed with alcohol?

If you are a doctor, you would know what to do. If you are a patient, you should ask your doctor. This is not an easy question to answer because there are too many variable. One such variable is how much the patient has been drinking. If they are an alcoholic then the doctor may give medication to prevent them from going into a coma, or dying, if they are in treatment to stop drinking. If it is for pain medication, then it would be up to the doctor to assess whether they are at risk of overdosing. And, once again, a doctor will know how to make such a decision as part of their expertise. Just ask them.
