1 Answer
Alcohol addiction is on a spectrum. If you are physically dependent, medication might be needed to help you with the withdrawal symptoms. Medication can also treat any underlying mental or emotional issues. The safest way to get off of alcohol if you are dependent is to get help from a team. This team should include mental health professionals who specialize in addiction. The team might include a medical doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, or counselor.
