In other words, when you treat the alcoholism, the other pathology clears up a bit. Of course, primarily organic disorders such as schizophrenia (which consequently has a high rate of comorbidity with alcoholism) require additional forms of treatment, but research attending the effects of 12-step treatment on depression, anxiety, ect could be markedly beneficial to your cause. The American Psychological Association Journal has published several articicles in this arena.
