Alcoholism Treatment. . .

This information, taken off the Internet, is provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA).

The type of treatment you receive depends on the severity of your alcoholism and the resources that are available in your community. Treatment nay include detoxification (the process of simply getting alcohol out of you system); Taking doctor-prescribe medication to help prevent a return (or relapse) to drinking once drinking has stopped; and individual and group counseling. There are promising types of counseling that teach alcoholics to identify situations and feelings that trigger the urge and to find new ways to cope that don not include alcohol use.

Because the support of the family members is important to the recovery process, many programs also offer brief marital counseling and family therapy as part of the treatment process.
