Some treatment centers may offer faster addiction treatments but it is advisable to get into program that at least span over 3 months. This is for the reason that considerable time is required to get over the addiction habit which is very hard to break.

For a start, let your family, workmates and friends know of your intentions. Ask them to help you as much as they can. Ask them not to invite you to any parties where alcohol is likely to be served. You should also ask your family members not to stock any alcohol in the house. This will reduce the temptation to get back on the drink. It will also be better if you drop all your drinking buddies as well.
