Anything; if taken in a limit is healthy. Too much of anything has an adverse affect on ones health. For instance too much of food is also not good for health. Addiction treatment is required for anything a person is addicted to. If the addiction happens to be alcohol; then an Alcohol Rehab is the only way out. There is a certain graph in alcohol addiction. This form of addiction does not happen over night.

In the beginning a person drinks for enjoyment and is a social drinker. Then slowly this form enjoying becomes a habit leading to alcohol dependency and thereby leading to addiction. In such an event the person does not enjoy his/her drinks. He/she merely drinks to feel normal. The enjoyment factor disappears forever. He/She has to drink to feel normal. The withdrawal symptoms can be terrible if alcohol is not given to them. They would resort to stealing from their house to drink and become kleptomaniacs virtually. If a person becomes this then it is high time treatment is given to them.

People who have gone through this; say that it has been 10 long years since they have had a drink; however, still nobody believes them. Such people suffer from hallucinations as well and might get seizures at times. An Alcohol Rehab center is the only answer for them and this is also not fool proof; as the family need to take over after that and this does not happen always. If such an event transpires the concerned alcoholic would hit rock bottom in a very shot span of time.
