Other treatment methods?

My AW recently had a bad fall while drunk and a visit to the ER. For the first time she admitted she needed to seek serious help with her problem. She does not however want to pursue "traditional" methods such as in-patient treatment, AA meetings, etc. She has read about alternative methods that focus on the health of the body by adjusting diet and exercise so the body doesn't crave alcohol. I will admit it makes a lot of sense to me to attack this problem from all angles. AA-to learn new behaviour (mind), diet and exercise-to help the body, and spiritual training for the soul. It does seem to be that it would be more effective than AA alone.

Comments please. My biggest concern is that she is stalling here and using this to avoid seeking the serious help she needs. If you know of any books or places that specialize in this please let me know.

THANKS!
