Alcoholism treatment

people with alcohol problems can be helped;
even chronic alcoholism can be treated
successfully. There are many 'schools'

'school' we are talking about, treating
alcohol problems contain three main
elements that have to be dealt with in

1.the alcohol addicted person must stop to drink
2.they must be treated for other diseases
alcohol abuse might have caused, including
getting rid of the poison contained in their
body or de-toxication as somebody call it.
3.the alcohol addict must be involved in a
long term treatment that make them feel satisfied
living a life without alcohol abuse, and prevent
them to fall into the alcoholism trap again.
