Alcohol and tobacco addiction

2021-11-03 03:57:54
Hello Docter, My elder brother age 45 years is heavily dependent on alcohol. He drinks everyday and becomes violent after drinking. Quarrels with people over phone and whatsapp. Talks loudly and use foul words for close ones. We have tried to console him but he never listens and drink alcohol again. I have tried to take him to docter but he thinks he is alright and don't need doctor consultation. He don't want to stop drinking himself but his behaviour is becoming problem for all around him. Can you suggest the treatment in this case ? Regards Hemant (younger brother of patient)

He will benefit from inpatient care in a good setup for a period of time. But he might need to consent for the same.
