“What therapy is best for alcohol addiction?”

Hello, Thank you for your question. The type of therapy that is most appropriate for your friend, depends on several factors. First and foremost, if the alcohol addiction is severe, they will need medical assistance to detox, as detoxing from a long term alcohol addiction can lead to some life threatening situations. Second, if your friend needs additional support throughout the therapeutic process, a residential setting maybe be most appropriate. Lastly, the type of therapy really depends on the specific needs of the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has been used to treat various addictions, and has been the gild standard therapy for decades. I hope this helps! Thank you again for your question!
