If the cirrhosis is due to alcoholic liver disease, the treatmen would be to stop drinking. If it stems from hepatitis C, treat the hep with medication.

You need to consult a doctor to ask what treatments are best for you. The doctor can tell you evrything you need to know. I don't know how many treatments there are out there for it. I think it depends on how bad the damage to the liver is also.
