One of the ways to prevent further alcohol dependency is alcohol intervention. Alcohol intervention comes in the form of counseling from physicians or nurses. They will explain the negative effects of alcohol dependency and point out strategies that will help one reduce alcohol consumption, or better yet, go into abstinence. So far, this form of intervention has been successful in reducing drinking, alcohol dependency, and other problems related to alcoholism. It has been proven to be effective, but your best friend must have the will to be able to undergo this. You have to be there to explain to her that relying on alcohol is not a good thing. I hope she gets better soon. Tell her not to waste her life over a boy.
