Drug de-ddiction and rehab
My brother is a regular alcohol drinker, which is affecting his physical and mental health.
I wanted to know details about some professional help on de-addiction and rehab.
Earlier twice he had stopped drinking for around a year and then started drinking again. I am looking for a permanent solution.

I would advise you to meet a psychiatrist so that your brother can be evaluated and you should consider placing him in a de-addiction/rehabilitation center if the habit is affecting his day to day activities. Your brother should come to accept that he has a problem and wants it corrected because until he doesn't accept it as any intervention will be futile, even giving him medications wouldn't help. So first take him to a psychiatrist and get him to understand he has a problem and then deaddiction and rehabilitation can be considered.
