Hi.

I had gone through your query.


Consult psychiatrist or De addiction center for better treatment.

Treatment is multimodality approach that include.
1. motivational counseling.
2.Assessment of current alcohol use by using AUDIT scale.
3.Treatment of withdrawal features.
4.treatment of medical complication related to alcohol.
5.Detoxification and anti craving agent help you to maintain your abstinence.
6.Rehabilitation and maintenance.

So treatment depend upon type of drug addiction and its severity.
Indoor treatment will help you for faster and better recovery.
