Alcoholism is a global issue that continues to hinder the development of emerging countries. Alcohol's harmful effects not only have an impact on the individual and their family, but also on society as a whole. All social classes continue to find alcoholism to be an irritation. Around the world, and particularly in India, alcohol is the substance that is most frequently consumed and misused. The average annual alcohol consumption in India's various States is dramatically rising each year. A purely subjective aspect of wellness is quality of life. Quality of life refers to happiness, satisfaction, and gratification as they are felt in relation to life's various aspects, including health, marriage, family, work, financial situation, self-esteem, belongingness, and trust in others. It is a composite measure of physical, mental, and social wellbeing as perceived by each individual or group of individuals. Alcohol De-addiction Centres today are essential to the improvement of alcoholics. For the benefit of alcoholics, they engage in detoxification, intervention, counselling, and follow-up activities. The predominant objectives of this study are to analyse the socio-economical background of the respondents, to examine the quality of life of the respondents, to study the role of social worker in de-addiction centres, to assess the aftercare treatment through counselling, and to provide suitable suggestions.
