I'm a layman, but that sounds more like normal withdrawal to me Kiki.

Normal withdrawal can still be dangerous and nasty tho so I'm glad she's in a good place for help

DTs are a whole 'nother level - the DTs usually involve hallucinations and whole body tremors, marked confusion and possible seizures.

Delirium tremens

DTs is the most severe manifestation of alcohol withdrawal. It occurs 3-10 days following the last drink. Clinical manifestations include agitation, global confusion, disorientation, hallucinations, fever, hypertension, diaphoresis, and autonomic hyperactivity (tachycardia and hypertension). Profound global confusion is the hallmark of delirium tremens.
