Addiction to alcohol, commonly known as alcoholism, may be one of the oldest addictions in the history of mankind that are known. Alcoholism is present in person when it wants to drink alcohol and can not limit or measure their consumption both in quantity and frequency. Specifically addiction occurs to the active substance that affects the brain's drinker "ethanol", depressive their properties over time encourage the emergence of a strong dependence.

Alcoholism is an issue more complicated than just having or not the desire to stop drinking because it is fundamentally affects biological, psychological and social well "addicted" to alcohol develops a certain tolerance in a time variable months until years depending on the various individuals, and thereafter will be checking that to achieve the same effects of alcohol in his body, will need increasingly higher doses of this.

Then as we started the alcohol rehabilitation ?

Considering that alcoholism is one of the most difficult addictions to overcome, since the addict has the false idea that has no problem, and they can leave e-whenever I want, we must make a comprehensive work.

First and most important is that people surrounding the "addict" especially his family to see them have a biggest problem and they should do something about it (alcohol rehabilitation), is due to the reason drinker, ask to see their problems physical and psychological on himself due to excessive alcohol consumption, must convince him that need help, because the media pressure and cohesion not motivate the addict rehabilitation, as well as the peaceful ask for help.
