I have an alcohol addiction. Where can I get help?

There are many options available for treatment of alcohol abuse. Alcohol dependence is usually treated through withdrawal and detoxification, followed by further intervention to prevent relapse. Other interventions include:

• Alcoholics Anonymous
• Cognitive-behavior therapy – aimed at helping individuals to cope with situations and relapse through role-play and rehearsal
• Motivational Enhancement Therapy – which motivates patients do use their own resources to help change their behavior
• Pharmacotherapy – use of anticraving medications

Consult a doctor to decide which method works best for you. Source: FASD, Competency-Based Curriculum Development Guide
