Treating alcohol problems: a comprehensive guide
Recognising and seeking treatment for an alcohol problem is a courageous act. It represents a significant and daunting step forward in someone’s life. This individual requires support and encouragement not only from professionals but also from family members, friends, and caregivers. Treatment for excessive alcohol use and dependence is lengthy (sometimes lifelong) and challenging. It must be well-structured and relies heavily on the individual’s commitment and willingness to make comprehensive lifestyle changes. Revered consultant in adult mental health and addiction psychiatry Dr Christos Kouimtsidis explains how alcohol addiction can be treated, and provides tips for family and friends to support their loved ones through the road to recovery.
