I think the hardest part is the initial shock of the loved one. They often feel betrayed and it’s a challenge to get them to understand you are doing this because you care about them.

There is a great informational site about alcohol abuse, http://alcoholrehabprogram.com/… and on there you will find tons of useful and helpful information about alcohol addiction, along with the causes and symptoms of alcohol abuse, as well as the treatment options that are available out there for you.

Also, there is a toll-free helpline, 1-800-714-8354, which you can call and speak to a trained professional who will be bale to help you and answer any questions you may have. They will help to guide you in the right direction, and come up with next steps you should be taking in order to get yourself back on the right track.

Hope this is helpful!

The pressure of getting them through the door might help some, that’s true, but it often doesn’t last long and doesn’t affect an internal change in the motivation of the user. Essay | Buy Research Paper

Bill, as usual, I love your blog, but we have to recognize that although the Johnson Institute Intervention method is very successful at getting people into treatment, those people do poorly once there.

The pressure of getting them through the door might help some, that’s true, but it often doesn’t last long and doesn’t affect an internal change in the motivation of the user.

I’ve been reading recently about more subtle ways of getting an addict to consider treatment. theey require more time and effort, but work on the whole problem rather than simply pushing a user into treatment they don’t see the value in.

Going to an out patient or inpatient treatment center is fine.
Go there to learn HOW to treat the disease when you are dismissed/discharged.
Here is how it is most effectively treated:
GO to Self help meetings (AA, NA); get a sponsor with five years sobriety; have sponsor help you work the twelve steps in writing.

Any type of addiction for that matter may be difficult to deal with if the person involved does not have the willingness to submit himself/herself for treatment and it is perhaps one of the biggest thing the family needs to deal with next to the addiction.
