Alcohol detox is not always fatal, but it can be. Unsupervised and unmedicated, it may include extreme anxiety, disorientation, hallucinations, sleep disorders, hand tremors, nausea, sweating, seizures, and racing pulse, along with blood pressure spikes that can cause strokes.

Delirium tremens (DTs) are an extreme example of withdrawal. In the worst cases, untreated alcohol withdrawal syndrome can result in death.

Is detox from alcohol always safe?

The safety of detox depends on the amount of alcohol consumed within a 24 hour time frame and how long that amount has been consumed over a period of time. An alcoholic who drinks a six pack of beer a day over a period of two years may have an easier detox experience than an alcoholic who consumes two liters a day over the past 10 years. Alcohol levels are cumulative so the more consumption over a longer period of time increases the danger. However, detox should always be preformed under medical supervision. Going "cold turkey" no matter how much consumption, can sometimes be fatal. When making the decision to detox, consult your doctor, counselor, or go to the emergency room.
