When to seek help? It is advisable to reach out for care when drinking affects health, relationships, work, or when it is difficult to stop on one's own.
Which specialist treats it? The psychiatrist and the psychologist support the approach to dependence and its emotional causes, with support from other areas for the physical repercussions. Seeking professional guidance is a decisive step toward recovery.
