VerifiedIf my friend struggled with alcohol use disorder,I would first recommend looking into the biological treatment of detoxification.Being sober and clean is the first stage that must be completed prior to receiving further help; and,given the possible dangerous withdrawal that can occur from alcohol,it is wise to go through withdrawal under medical supervision.To keep my friend sober,I would also recommend looking into cognitive-behavioral therapies that emphasize relapse-prevention training.If my friend had a commitment to stay sober,this type of training would help him learn more effective coping strategies and be able to plan in advance for difficult situations.Relapse-prevention training has been found to lower some people's frequency of intoxication and binge drinking.A possible weakness of this recommendation is that it lacks social support,so it would be helpful if a self-help group like Alcoholics Anonymous were added.In such a group,my friend could find a supportive community of peers as well as a mentor to help him navigate any difficulties in real time.
