Doctors are often not educated on alcoholism.
I posted this a couple of years ago. Give it a read:

Trying to address marriage problems via counseling
before the alcoholism is dealt with is putting the cart before the horse, IMO.
Regardless of whether he is drinking, what he is drinking, and whatever medication he "thinks" is going to solve his attitude problems, he has not addressed the underlying issues of his alcoholism.
It's an exercise in futility.
