I agree with biminiblue. You can do this on your own. Never tried a taber, but I can't see how that would have worked for me. Halfway thru I'm sure I would have said f it. A medical detox is the safest way. I don't know your drinking history but if it was very heavy and for a long period the med detox is the way to go. But many of us have gone it alone. If you go that route check your blood pressure frequently and if it's pretty high or you're feeling really bad go to emergency.
