Describe what happens during the third stage in the development of alcoholism

What will be an ideal response?


Physical deterioration often sets in during the third stage. The entire spectrum of the employee's drinking behavior becomes increasingly more aggravated until he is physically and psychologically dependent on alcohol and becomes totally unsuited for the demands of police service. It is at this time that severe negative corrective action is first deemed necessary, then the employee invariably becomes a total loss to the organization, through either a long-term suspension or a permanent separation from the service. When positive corrective action has been delayed until this stage, even if it is desirable to treat the person rather than punish him, the probabilities of restoring him to full productive capacity are greatly limited.
