Gabapentin, SGA: In addition to behavioral relaxation techniques, Gabapentin may be used as needed for its sedative effect. Low dose second generation antipsychotics may also be helpful on a more scheduled basis.

Depends: On what you are detoxing from. You need to see a doc experienced in such matters. Contact asam (american society of addiction medicine for a doc near you.).
