Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis Treatments
Doctors and physicians may use drugs to cure some types of liver disease, but alcoholic liver cirrhosis is typically not reversible.
Your doctor can however prescribe medications that can reduce the symptoms and delay the progression of the disease.
The first step is to help the person stop drinking. Those with alcoholic liver cirrhosis are still so dependent on alcohol that if they attempt to stop without being in the hospital, they may suffer serious health problems.
A doctor may recommend a hospital or treatment facility where an individual can begin the journey towards sobriety.
