Alcoholism is one of the main reasons for consulting mental health, and is characterized by excessive consumption of alcohol for a long time, which is dependent on it.

It is considered a serious injury to health, which increases the risk of death as a result of diseases in the liver, cancer, depression, accidents, etc.

Alcoholism is a multi-causal disease, its treatment must follow a multidisciplinary approach that integrates the work of several professionals specialized in alcohol addiction. Current treatments for alcoholics do not affect dependence, but rather on consumption and the decision to consume.

There are several phases in the treatment of alcoholism:

• Recognition of addiction by the patient.
• When he stops drinking, he manifests the withdrawal syndrome, which must be adequately treated and, depending on the degree of dependence, may make it necessary to admit the patient to hospital.
• This phase is known as detoxification.
• In the last stage of treatment, detoxification, the objective is for the patient to remain abstemious for the rest of his life.
• The entire therapeutic process is based on psychotherapeutic, psycho-pharmacological and psychosocial interventions.
