The individual recovery program depends on the addiction, the person's desire to get well, and the attitudes of family and friends. For a successful treatment, the alcoholic must be determined to recover and be ready to seek a solution. The treatment will not be successful if the alcoholic does not want help. There are two types of help one can go to for treatment. One of them is medical, and the other is psychological.
People can go to receive medical help to correct chronic health problems.
This may include special diets or drugs to reduce discomfort and nervousness. The other type of help an alcoholic may need to get when they need help is psychological help. Counselors are there to help alcoholics. An alcoholic can go to rehabilitation programs. Another type of help is vocational guidance.
