Alcohol Problems: How To Stop Drinking: What Resources Are Available To Help You Cut Down On Or Stop Alcohol Use On Your Own
What resources are available to help you cut down on or stop alcohol use on your own?
You need education and emotional support when you stop drinking, especially if you abuse alcohol or are alcohol-dependent. Some resources that can help you stop drinking include:
- Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Alcoholics Anonymous organizes meetings all over the world to help those who have a desire to stop drinking. The groups are made up of people who have had alcohol use problems, and you may remain anonymous.
- Family medicine physicians or other doctors, psychologists, or other health professionals.
- Inpatient or outpatient treatment centers or hospitals.
- Local or national alcohol treatment hotlines (check your local white and yellow pages).
You can contact these organizations and health professionals by phone or by accessing their Web sites online.
