Yes. Not weaned, just detoxed.
Alcohol detox can kill. It is, to the surprise of many, one of the worst kicks possible. Only benzos compare.
I'd expect him to get a script for librium, Valium, or some other long acting benzo. He was looking pretty shakey at arraignment, which could be the DTs.
No, he's just barely starting the shakes + sweat stage. He's got such wonderful delights to look forward to.
Unless he violates his bail terms (he absolutely will violate his bail terms) and starts drinking again, the shakes and sweat will get increasingly worse over the next 24 hours at which point he'll start the actual DTs and seizures. That lasts for a day, then he'll start hallucinating, and that lasts for god only knows how long.
(Edit: Clarification, the DTs and Seizures keep going, they don't end after 24 hours, it's just that he gets the 105 degree fever + hallucinations added on top of the shakes and twitching.)
All this while he's detoxing from Cocaine, Ketamine, and Heroin too,
at the same time.
Oh and all this presumably with a house full of booze and whatever nose candy they didn't find in their raid and/or raids.
Oh and this will be both him and Mrs. Rackets. AND their side hole, if she's been partying like they have.
The BEST thing his family could have done would be to enter his house without permission and dump every single trace of booze they could find down the sink, presuming anyone's allowed at what is a crime scene at this point. Because he's a non-functioning addict and absolutely, 100%, will drink once the deets and first seizure starts just to try and get them to go away.
[Realization: He might not even be allowed to go home if it's a crime scene and they want to keep it pristine.]
If he doesn't check himself into a hospital for help detoxing he's a goddamned fool. He's going to need help but with ODD and Narcissism there's no fucking way he'll ever admit it.
