Overview

Counselling for alcohol addiction aims at changing the person’s feelings, perceptions, and behaviours regarding alcohol consumption. Through counselling, a person addicted to alcohol can learn to manage their triggers and thus prevent relapses. Counselling is just one form of treatment intervention for alcohol addiction. Treatment can fall under 3 types:

Medications. Medications help reduce the desire to drink and deal with withdrawal symptoms.
Counselling. Counselling can include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Enhancement Therapy, and Marital and Family Counselling.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy involves identifying thoughts, feelings, and situations that lead to drinking, and involves changing these thought patterns to cope with everyday life that can trigger alcohol misuse.
Motivational Enhancement Therapy involves identifying the pros and cons of continuing problematic drinking, making a change plan, building confidence, and developing skills needed to stick with the plan.
Marital and Family Counselling involves spouses and other family members in repairing and improving relationships. Studies have found that having a strong support system enhances the chances of maintaining abstinence.

Support groups. Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a support group that has a 12-step program that helps people recover from addiction and maintain abstinence.
