Specializes in General Practice

Alcoholism: No. But it is hard to advise you there in india. Ativan (lorazepam) may help the dts, but it is very addicting and is a pill form of 'alcohol'. You need to be in a medical place to detox and then most likely need to get into a treatment program to help you get and stay sober.
