If you know someone who is struggling with alcohol abuse, and wants to get help but doesn’t know how to get there, we can help. First, you’ll want to talk with that person about the seriousness of their drinking and how it is potentially affecting them. Next, offer information on resources which they might find helpful in the quest for sobriety. Support for someone who wants treatment may fall under a number of categories such as emotional support, financial support or logistical support (i.e., if they need a ride). You may also want to consider providing education and information on alcohol-related issues such as myths and facts about alcoholism. Also, if the person is employed, encourage them to notify their employer that they are seeking treatment to avoid a possible misunderstanding that could result in dismissal from the job.
