To stop drinking you have to stick on your decision and strong motivation of abstinence can help to quit.
Indoor treatment with strong level of motivation can help.

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.

Consult De addiction center or psychiatrist for further help.
