Does rehab for alcoholism help?
Jan 26th
Question by nenndre: Does rehab for alcoholism help?
My friend drinks every day for the past 5 years. She just came out to everybody, and wants help. I found couple of places of rehab with a program lasting 30 days. It’s very expensive, so just wanted to know if anybody experienced that and if it helped or not. Thank You.
We also started AA, but not everyday that she needs. She can’t stop drinking on herself eventhough AA makes her happy, and feel better… I think she needs first detox and then AA…
Thank You so much every answear so far was really helpful in thought.

Answer by nickipettis
it helps some people, if they want help, and are ready to change almost everything in their lives.
The benefit of a rehab place is it gets her away from her habits and neighborhood, while she detoxes. other than that one point, I think AA is more useful.
If she goes through the rehab place, then comes back to her “old” life, with the same friends, and doesn’t work to change habits and thinking, the expensive rehab place isn’t worth the huge price.

Should I call my mother’s primary doc to tell him to check my mom into rehab for alcoholism?
Sep 11th
Question by hello: Should I call my mother’s primary doc to tell him to check my mom into rehab for alcoholism?
She has been before but only for about 2 weeks and unsuccessful.
When she is drunk she tells us she wants to go to rehab but when she is sober she avoids the question. She also has anxiety disorder and with her phobias on high speed she has been drinking more and more and doesnt eat and looks so sick. She also smokes 2 packs a day. Her psychiatrist of many years is a pill pusher and avoids the fact that she is a non-compliant patient. Right now she takes inderal every once in a while and zoloft every day cause she knows she is VERY depressed. But she is drinking SOOO much. HELP! I want to call the primary doctor cause he doesnt know she is a severe alcoholic!

Answer by AmitKu
If she does not admit she has a problem, no amount of help you want to get her will make a significant difference.
You can try calling her doctor for advice, or even organize an intervention. Maybe get her to change her psychiatrist?

Q&A: How do I convince my husband that I need inpatient rehab for alcoholism? He insists that it won’t help me.?
Jun 4th
Question by Cindy: How do I convince my husband that I need inpatient rehab for alcoholism? He insists that it won’t help me.?
Because I tried outpatient rehab once and didn’t stick with it, he is positive that “rehab” of any sort would be a useless waste of money. I keep thinking of all the money I currently spend on wine…. This has been going on for three years, ever since I had gastric bypass and could no longer fulfill my food addiction. I apparently just replaced that addiction with the addiction to alcohol. ANY help would be appreciated!

Answer by Nick
I’m not really sure about the difference between the two, but my dad used to be an alcoholic before he was told he wouldn’t make it past 39 if he kept drinking. He has to take liver pills now.

Is it legal to be fired for asking your boss for a LOA to enter rehab for alcoholism?
Feb 18th
Question by jeafox: Is it legal to be fired for asking your boss for a LOA to enter rehab for alcoholism?
My brother asked his employer for a leave of absence so he could go to rehab for alcoholism (forget that his employer supposedly has an open door policy and programs to help its employees with problems without any reprocussions), his boss responded by firing him. Im pretty sure this is a violation of his ADA rights, but would like to know exactly what laws are being broken and the best way to handle the situation, as my brother cannot afford legal consult.
Best answer:
Answer by Phoenix
I’m pretty sure that is in violation of Family Medical Leave of Absence laws. It would depend what, exactly, your brother was supposedly fired for. In an at-will state (most states), employment is at-will and you can be fired any time for just about any reason. However, you can’t lose your job for requesting FMLA as you are guaranteed 12 weeks per year and your employer has to guarantee your job will be waiting when you return.
Again, the specifics will determine whether it was handled legally or not, but this sounds like a blatant FMLA violation. Usually lawyers will give a first consultation for free and they may take his case on a pay-if-we-win basis (don’t do it for more than 30%!!) He should take advantage of that first consult (make sure when he makes the appt. that it is free).
He could also simply strong arm them by threatening to bring about a FMLA case. Often, if you push just a little, they won’t risk it or won’t bother dealing with it.

Question by confuzzled: my boyfriend is on parole and has a drug addiction can he go to rehab without any legal consequences?
My boyfriend is on parole house arrest and he has a drug addiction he wants help he wants to go to rehab but he is on house arrest and he is worried that if his parole officer knows about his addiction he will send him back to jail. I don’t know who to contact about this. Can he tell his parole officer and there won’t be any consequences because he is seeking help or will I lose him to the drugs? Pls help us!
Best answer:
Answer by Mr. Taco
Nice choice in boyfriends.
My suggestion is that he should go straight to the parole officer and discuss this. If he is upfront and honest about it and asks for help, he is more likely to get the help he needs. Sneak around, and you are right–back to jail.

Q&A: What are some needs/shortfalls in drug addiction rehab or supervised injection sites?
Aug 5th
Question by smallbewbsftw: What are some needs/shortfalls in drug addiction rehab or supervised injection sites?
this is for a school project and our group wants to perhaps raise money for what is really lacking in the centres that assist drug addicts
but we dont even know what is most needed, and i cant find any site that really tells yuu this
were not sure if were going to fundraise, and if we do would the money be for rehab or injection sites or whatever helps drug addiction
but we could really use the info first, and i might just personally go to one myself to see
thanks!
