Treating Alcoholism

Did you know that about 30% of people with an alcohol problem are able to limit how much they drink or even refrain completely from drinking without professional help?  So says information from Medical News Today, which contains an abundance of useful information about alcohol abuse and addiction.  Books and information online can assist people in this do-it-yourself approach. 

However for people with serious problems, treatment from a qualified counselor may be necessary.  A counselor can help diagnose and treat substance abuse issues as well as any underlying problems ssuch as self-esteem, stress, anxiety, depression or other mental health issues. 

The MNT website is worth checking out for all kinds of useful information.
