If the one suffering from Alcoholism is also suffering from dementia because of brain damage resulting from the alcohol abuse, one would communicate with them as with any other form of dementia. An alcoholic who has suffered some brain damage may exhibit forgetfulness or personality changes but generally continues to be able to communicate. It is not necessary to change one's communication "style" or "technique" when dealing with someone suffering from alcoholism, except to say "honesty" is important if one does not want to enable the person to play a "victim" role because of their alcohol abuse.

What antidepressent helps alcoholism?

I've been known to talk about the different forms of alcoholism in that if you have 100 different people, you'll have 100 different types of alcoholics. One theory is that alcoholism is strictly a biochemical manifestation, and as everyone's brain chemistry is different, no one pharmacological intervention is best.What we do know is that there is a huge link between depression and relapse.....some 12-step programs suggest that using such drugs is relapse in and of itself...however, most people didn't desire to get sober to be miserable, so using various drugs makes sense to me, if only to prevent relapse..
