Delirium tremens
Benzodiazepines are the most common type of medicine used for DTs.  In the United Kingdom, chlordiazepoxide (Librium) and diazepam (Valium) are most often used.  In the United States, lorazepam (Ativan) and oxazepam are often used too. These medicines will keep the person asleep or relaxed, make them more comfortable, and help prevent seizures.
