Help Them Beat the Booze

Contrary to popular belief, the majority of people with drink problems do not sleep on park benches; they are in work. In fact research by Bupa and Drinkaware has found that 9% of the workforce comes to work at least twice a week suffering from the adverse effects of alcohol. In view of the significant presenteeism and absenteeism costs that can result, it is essential that employers learn how to spot the signs of problem drinking and of stress problems generally and learn how to deal with them. Unlike friends and relatives of drinkers, employers simply cannot afford to wait until an employee hits rock bottom in the hope that this will provide them with the motivation to instigate their own recovery. By the time they reach this stage they could have bankrupted a business by losing key clients. So it is essential to intervene as early as possible and take decisive action.

The treatment methods available nowadays extend far beyond just the traditional 12-step based approach used by Alcoholics Anonymous and most rehab clinics. Although these normally represent the most appropriate places to start, they don't work for everyone, and in cases when they don't work it could be worth trying some of the revolutionary new methods. These methods, detailed in Help Them Beat the Booze, can enable even drinkers with serious physical addictions to go back to drinking alcohol in moderation without exercising any willpower, and they have been demonstrating staggering success rates of 78% to 92%.
