Hi.

I had gone through your query.

Best treatment for alcohol addiction only can be done if get admitted in
de addiction center and go for rehabilitation.

There are two phase for treatment.

1. Alcohol detoxification by giving agonist therapy to prevent alcohol withdrawal.
2. Treatment of medical complication and nutritional deficiency.

Rehabilitation and motivation counseling play major role to maintain proper abstinence from alcohol.

Consult psychiatrist or De addiction center for further help.
Glad to help you further.

Thank you.
Family and social support is must.
