Is It Possible To Stop Drinking Alcohol Without His Knowledge ?

My husband is alcoholic. According to him, life is just to enjoy and hence drink and enjoy. His drinking habits are going out of control. I want to get de-alcoholic treatment. It is impossible to take him to hospital with his knowledge. I want things to be done without his knowledge. Is it possible. If yes how? Kindly suggest me as to how to go about it. We live in Bangalore, India.
