Alcohol is an addition and it can be treated. It has nothing to do with your genes. That is humbug.

Its not easy to comment of alcohol when I my self have a drink every day. I have been drinking since I was in collage. I have been through months there I did not drink at all.
Thats my story, what I feel is that we have to learn to deal with emotions if we are going to make any progress with addictions. If we dont do that we will only go from one addiction to the next.
I would like to advice people to look deeper in to why we are addicted in the first place. One should also spend time in nature when one want to detox.

Thank you for sharing this thought provoking post. I think that alcohol treatment success is a very big issue in the world today. Many people are addicted to drugs and need help. Drug rehabilitation centers are the places that they can go to get that help. I think that this is an issue that should be more known. This is why I bring it up. Anyway, thank you for your insight.

It always depends on the individual of course but i do believe that support from someone (friends or family) is an important factor in quitting successfully

I agree with Isabella – motivation which comes from realization indeed plays the most important role in overcoming any addiction. That said- I think there are times when we do need external help, and for which there are of course many rehab centers available. Cheers!

The best treatment of alcohol is men itself. This is wonderful comments, which simply about treating alcohol addiction and it is generated by the person itself not by the circumstances. If you want to come out from the addiction of any kind, you have to try it from your end because you started it and you have to end it. Your will-power has to work strongly to stop it. The main treatment of alcohol addiction is man’s mentally thinking.

I think its support what matters a most, We have to make a person’s willpower strong so that he/she can leave the alcohol on its own as by increasing his faith particularly concern towards his family.

I think that the family support is a critical part of the alcohol rehab treatment… Anyways, the most important part is the social support and feelings that need to be changed inside an alcoholic… he needs to think positive again and have a clear mind.

i’d like to emphasize once again: one size does not fit all. so – does a person need to give up al addictions together? it depends. questions that i would ask are: after some reflection, does the alcoholic think he/she should do it? (as rey put it, does he/she have the desire?)

if there is no desire to give up other addictions, then we’re setting them up for failure.

a question that follows is, what are the chances for short and long term success if the person gives it all up together? the answers to these questions will be different for each individual.

how do you convince a person with an addiction problem to go for treatment? my experience with that is that trying to convince anyone to do anything is an uphill battle.

it might be better to have an honest conversation, and think about how you want to interact with that person on a very practical level. e.g., i remember telling a friend once, “please don’t call or visit when you’re drunk. when you’re sober, i really enjoy spending time with you, though.”

you might find some information at alanon, and also at intervention centre. two different approaches, but both worth looking into.

All the suggestions given by you great.. Thankx for giving some usefull information like this.. But did you think that a drug addicted person will come to a clinic and disguise himself.. I hope he will not.. Only family members can do it, and for that too the person would agree.. Otherwise the treatment is entirely waste.. Please give some ideas for convencing the drug addicts to take them to clinic.. Regards for your work..
