Struggling with alcohol addiction can be devastating to the individual and the close family and friends that are involved.

Alcohol Addiction and Treatment Options
Depending on the severity of the alcohol abuse and dependency, there are a few different treatment options that are available. For the less severe forms of alcoholism, cognitive behavioral therapy and outpatient programs may be an option to help someone recover.
