Hi DR Narayanaswami
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns.
The issue seems to be more complicated.
De addiction treatment yielded results only in cases where love and family affection is available.
Treatment with druga can be beneficial upto an extent and in 97% cases, relapse occurs.
Therefore, I suggest family intervention more than drugs.
Over and above he might be aged.
Let him live happily with the affection and love family members provide, not on medications which make him drowsy and immobile.
Please understand.
