Hello there,
I am sorry to hear about your ordeal.
Your husband will benefit from counselling and psychiatric treatment specifically targeted at relapse prevention. The other option to consider would be using a deterrent medication like Disulfiram under supervision.
With regards to Hypnosis, the scientific evidence for use in Alcohol dependence is limited. It could be an add-on to the above treatments.
Good luck !
