Suggest Some De-alcoholic Treatment

My father is alcoholic. 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 Alwar, India.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
hi dear,
it is very tough to de addict from alcohol without pt knowledge. if we tried to do same without knowledge of pt it may be risky.
only one therapy which is available for alcohol deaddiction without pt knowledge is aversion therapy. in aversion therapy one should give tab disulfirum which is resposible for alcohol disulfirum reaction if any one take alcohol with that drug and so there is a many symptoms like flushing tremors, palpitation, breathlessness, sweating, also bleeding in vomiting, coma, convulsion, death occur in severe reaction.
so take care of this things.
best way is consult psychiatrist for the same.
thank you
