Sure. But I think one of the keys in fighting depression is to find primary caretakers you trust. Healing process is really complex, and the patient-caretaker relationship - especially in mental illnesses - is a non-trivial component. Hence, it's important you can trust the caretaker. My advice was given in this context - it's not as important to find a withdrawals symptom expert than it is to find an expert that you can trust. This is not to belittle withdrawal symptoms, but just to observe that in many cases they are not the most important concern of the parties in the healing process.
