Why are some drug withdrawals deadly while others are not?

I thought about benzos or alcohol withdrawal which can be deadly but then I noticed that not all drug withdrawals have the potential to be deadly. Is there any rule?

There’s no particular easy rule to follow to determine the effects of a withdrawal, but in general the more the substance affects you during use the more potent the withdrawal will be. The easy examples being caffeine, alcohol, and cocaine. Caffeine withdrawal is a mild headache. The others… Not so much.
