If alcoholism is due to a medical condition then it can be treated with medication, but basically, you need to make some lifestyle changes to treat alcoholism. Getting an alcoholism test can be a good motivation because it can reveal to you the condition of your organs. If the damage has just begun to occur, it can be a good motivation to stop drinking alcohol. The damage caused by alcohol can be medically treated, but when it comes to stopping alcohol consumption or becoming a teetotaler, it may need some psychological and familial intervention.
