Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi , thank you for using health care magic.
I can understand your concern about father's drinking habit.
De-addiction is a process and should be done by specialist.
Drinking pattern should be evaluated by specialist and factor affecting the motivation for drinking/quitting would also need to be addressed by Specialist.
There can be number of things associated with drinking.
The withdrawal symptoms, vitamin deficiency , motivation for quitting , co-morbid psychiatric condition , Relapse prevention usally require specialist's help.
I advise you to consult a Psychiatrist , who will be able to help in this de-addiction.
Hope this will help you.
Regards..
