Having knowledge of the appropriate treatment to carry out in a patient undergoing alcohol abuse&nbsp;can be recalled by the story of the alcoholic-martini hitting rock bottom and wanting to change his ways. There are several interventions to implement during the withdrawal stage. This includes&nbsp;reducing environmental stimuli, shown by the down-arrow over the stimulating environment. Antianxiety medications may also be indicated, shown by the ant-tie with anxiety-bag, along with vitamin supplements, shown by the vikings. Severe withdrawal may require seizure precautions to be implemented to prevent aspiration, shown by Caesar with a precaution-sign in hand. And because alcohol abuse increases the risk for suicide, it may be necessary to implement suicide precautions, shown by the suicide-jumper with precaution-sign. It wasn&rsquo;t his fault though because the fever-beaver pushed with him, signifying that a patient with severe withdrawal may present with a fever greater than 101 degrees fahrenheit. An important part of care is to identify support systems, shown by the magnifying-glass over the supportive-friends. Group therapy can also be helpful, shown by the group therapeutically-massaging the martini. The medication disulfiram can also be prescribed in conjunction with therapy and support, and is shown by the dyed-shirt-surfer. This medication works by creating an unpleasant reaction when alcohol is consumed, which helps reduce the desire to drink, while the drug naltrexone, shown by the long nail-T-rex, is an opioid antagonist and can also be used in the treatment of alcohol dependence. So in summary, interventions for alcohol abuse during withdrawal include reducing environmental stimuli, giving antianxiety medications and vitamin supplements, implementing seizure and suicide precautions, and assessing for and treating a fever. It will be helpful to identify support systems, engage in group therapy, and possibly administer disulfiram or naltrexone.&nbsp;

So the Ant-tie Anxiety-bag drags him away and makes him socialize to get his mind off of it by making go on a cruise on... a Viking ship! It's lead by Caesar and his Precaution-sign as the tour guide. He warns all passengers of the bridge coming up ahead, but Martini see this as his opportunity to jump off commit suicide. Fever-beaver discovers him and helps him out by pushing him off the bridge. Luckily, he was caught by Supportive-friends and a Magnifying-glass. Then he bounced on top of a Group that Therapeutically-massaged him as he crowd surfed along. He begins to enjoy life and he likes "surfing" so much that he decides to try out the real thing and he surfs with the Dyed-shirt-surfer. Then he takes him to meet Nail-T-rex and he falls in love and Martini never drank again and lived happily ever after.
