Abstract


Alcoholism is becoming widespread problem in the Indian society. The age of first exposure to alcohol in the state has dropped to 15 years. Added concern is the increasing numbers of women specially girls becoming addicted to alcohol. This trend is causing socio-economic problems but little is being done to arrest this social trend[1].
Individuals struggling with alcoholism often feel as though they cannot function normally without alcohol. This can lead to a wide range of issues and impact professional goals, personal matters, relationships and overall health. Over time, the serious side effects of reliable alcohol abuse can deteriorate and harvest harmful complications. Overcoming alcoholism is a process. Less than half of individuals relapse after achieving one year of sobriety[2]. That number reduces to less than 15 percent who relapse after five years of sobriety. For the utmost chance of long-term temperance after finishing an inpatient or outpatient package, you should contribute in local provision collections and endure with therapy. Treating alcoholism is an investment in your future. It will not only make a huge difference in your life, but also the lives of those around you such as family members and friends[2].
