Brief Answer: Visit Deaddiction centre Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for your query. A better choice of medication to get rid of the addiction is LIBRIUM and DISULFIRAM. Both the medications have side effects of their own and can get serious if not monitored by doctors. Also self medication with any medications especially in chronic alcoholic could be XXXXXXX Hence, I suggest you to take him to a better deaddiction centre for safe and healthy deaddiction. Regards,
