**The following are recognized treatment options for alcoholism:** * Do-it-yourself: Some people with an alcohol problem manage to reduce their drinking or abstain without seeking professional help. Free information is available on websites. * Counseling: A qualified counselor can help the person share their problems and then devise a plan to tackle the drinking. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is commonly used to treat alcohol dependency. * Treating underlying problems: There may be problems with self-esteem, stress, anxiety, depression, or other aspects of mental health. It is important to treat these problems, too, as they can increase the risks posed by alcohol. Common alcohol-related issues, such as hypertension, liver diseases, and possibly heart diseases, will need to be treated too. * Residential programs: These can offer expert professional help, individual or group therapy, support groups, training, family involvement, activity therapy, and a host of strategies for treating alcohol abuse. Being physically away from access to temptation is helpful for some people. * Drug that provokes a severe reaction to alcohol: Antabuse (disulfiram) causes a severe reaction when somebody drinks alcohol, including nausea, flushing, vomiting, and headaches. It is a deterrent, but it will not treat the compulsion to drink or solve the problem in the long term. * Drugs for cravings: Naltrexone (ReVia) may help reduce the urge to have a drink. Acamprosate (Campral) may help with cravings. * Detoxification: Medications can help prevent withdrawal symptoms (delirium tremens, or DTs) that can occur after quitting. Treatment usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Chlordiazepoxide, a benzodiazepine medication, is frequently used for detoxification (detox). * Abstinence: Some people complete detox successfully, but they start drinking again either soon after or some time later. Access to counseling, medical help, support groups, and family support can all help the individual avoid alcohol as time goes on. * Alcoholics Anonymous: Alcoholics Anonymous is an international fellowship of men and women who have faced problems with alcohol. It is nonprofessional, self-supporting, multiracial, apolitical, and available almost everywhere. There are no age or education requirements. Membership is open to anyone who wants to stop drinking.

**PTSD treatment with ketamine therapy** Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Ketamine transfusion therapy (Feder, 2014), as well as neurofeedback (Gapen, 2016), biofeedback of heart rate variability (Tan, 2010) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (Peckel, 2017 ). The antidepressant and dissociative effects of ketamine help "overwrite" traumatic memory, similar to how it works with addictive memory in addiction patients. However, this should only be done as part of psychotherapy and with an experienced psychotherapist. Neurofeedback and HRV biofeedback help reduce vegetative arousal. RTMS reduces the depressive parts of the disorder and helps against the pressure of addiction and chronic pain. All these forms of therapy serve to complement psychotherapeutic treatment and should not be used alone. It is important for all trauma patients that further trauma is avoided through treatment. That is why a therapist-patient relationship of trust is paramount. Patients with severe PTSD should always receive specialized therapy with therapists specially trained in the field of post-traumatic stress disorder!
