Since DT's are potentially fatal, it's a really good circumstance to avoid.
At any rate, my doc agreed on the B vitamins, especially Thiamine (B1), in recovery. A heady dose of B's makes me feel much better, although they do turn your pee neon yellow. A multi is also a very good idea, as is . . . a diet low in fat, sugars and processed foods, exercise (getting endorphins in gear), and all the things docs tell non alcoholics to do.
There is a website,
Treatment for Alcoholism | Help for Alcoholism | Medication for Alcoholism | Alcohol Treatment Program | How to Stop Drinking - My Way Out, that has more ideas on herbs and supplements, but I'm very wary of taking the prescription med touted on that site, Topamax. It was designed for people who suffer from migraine headaches, is not approved for treatment of alcoholism and has some really nasty side effects.
Good luck!
