What alcohol treatment involves

Treatment usually means some mix of medical care, therapy and support groups. NIAAA, the federal alcohol research agency, lists behavioral treatments, mutual-support groups and medication as the main options. They can be used together.

Three medications are FDA approved for alcohol use disorder: naltrexone, acamprosate and disulfiram. Not every rehab offers them. Ask directly, because some programs simply never bring it up.
