Alcohol Addiction

•
In-Patient Treatment
•
This program is generally prescribed in the immediate aftermath of dropping
alcohol. At this time, patients are generally suffering from violent shaking,
jitters, hallucinations, confusion and convulsions.
Counselling Sessions
•
Once the physical effects of dropping alcohol use disappear, the only thing
that is left is control over the patient’s cravings for drinking. These cravings can
be controlled through therapy. The treating doctor may take individual
counselling sessions with the patient or he may prescribe group therapy to
him.
Letting Go of Your Old Habits
•
Doctors also prescribe behavioural changes for coping with alcoholism. After
patients leave treatment, doctors caution them from re-visiting the bars that
they used to.
