My doctor gave me Librium, which I took for the first two days. He had me come in daily for four consecutive days, as the DTs that lead to seizures apparently happen on days 3-4. This isn't advice, just my experience.
I read somewhere that "tapering" on beer, if you do taper, seems to be the most advisable as wine and liquor are quicker, as they say. I suppose you could measure out amounts and set an alarm or something to take them as you would dose medicine? I'm not sure I would have had the self-control though I know someone who did that.
