Hey Reg
Well done for posting that.
It is true that to top drinking suddenly is dangerous, sometimes even fatal which might sound weird as drinking is the very thing making your partner so unwell.
The detox is likely to be at home (I think) the nurse will be able to confirm though. It’s good he is being fast tracked as anything NHS wise usually takes a really long time. See what the nurse says.
I hear what you are saying about sleep and anger, my personal view is not to take pills for this as anything prescribed is likely to be highly addictive and cause problems further down the line. This of course is only my opinion and I am not a doctor.
Once he is detoxed properly its csn be a tough time as there is nowhere to hide and no drink to nb any of what he is feeling, for me it’s critical that he takes action ASAP to avoid a relapse.
AA have a ton of online meetings. They are super helpful and he will meet people in the same boat as him, that may help with anger as he will get understanding and also a programme of action which can help him straighten out. It’s also important that he works on the trauma through counselling so that he can reconcile and move forwards.
The super encouraging thing reading your post is that he looks like he’s ready to stop and get on with recovering which is a huge advantage as many don’t even get there.
I have been sober 12 years, if I can help answer any questions happy to do so
