What a doc will do is prescribe a small number of benzos and give you a medication schedule to wean you off over the course of several days to a week. In really severe cases you might be hospitalized, but still given a diminishing dose of benzos and maybe fluids. Unfortunately there is no magic easy way to stop drinking, if you've been drinking enough long enough to get withdrawals worse than a hangover, so hopefully you aren't expecting an instant cure.
