Addiction to alcohol is a chronic illness, progressive and ultimately fatal. It is a problem which deforms human thinking, feeling and self-image, of complex etiology. It is a social disease the successful treatment of which is significantly affected by other people and their support, readiness to share their own experiences, and openness. Psychotherapy of addiction involves the care of the physical sphere, work on changing attitudes and behaviours, as well as training the skills of constructively managing the emotional states, combined with work supporting personal development and human spirituality. Only such an integrated approach provides for effective help to alcohol addict.
