I mean other than not having access to the substance in question. What makes the body respond in such a way that it can be deadly?

the main risk of death is seizures from stopping alcohol and benzos. these drugs raise the seizure threshold while on them, so when you go off then after a long time, your seizure threshold drops because it’s used to being propped up by the drugs, this makes it easier to have a potentially fatal seizure.
