The first challenge is to overcome alcohol addiction, in recognition of the patient having his alcoholism as a disease.
Many patients, despite the severity and long-term prescription of alcoholism with serious consequences, stubbornly refused to consider themselves sick and are considering treatment as a punishment.
Well the information collected about the patient, helps the doctor to convince the patient of the existence of a number of his undoubted signs of alcoholism. Not only for individual therapeutic work, but also in the group, and collective psychotherapy of patients is necessary to explain the value of individual symptoms of alcoholism, making it impossible to go to "moderate" drinking. Many patients have recognized in his alcoholism, refuse treatment, suggesting that they themselves will manage and stop drinking. So often they say patients admitted over the alcoholic psychoses. After graduating from psychosis, they state that received a very serious lesson and never drink themselves will not.  However, experience shows that in practice this exercise fails. There are cases of independent cessation of drinking alcoholic patients without treatment, under the influence of the situation, but these cases are rare.
