What should someone with mental illness and drug/alcohol addiction be treated for first?
Trying to get help for my boyfriends mother. She has a mental illness and is addicted to drugs and alcohol. Her family has been trying to get her into treatment but doesn’t know which to try to get her treatment for first. Are there places that do both? Does any one know of any in Sacramento, Ca or somewhere close to there. Ive read that the cops can take her to get evaluated, but theyve been at her house everynight for the past 5 nights and wont take her, what can we do? what should we do?
What programs to help alcohol addiction BESIDES AA?
I want to stop drinking again. I had stopped for 9 months and had a sip of my friends margarita at a restaurant. My sponsor told me I obviously wasn’t committed to quitting b/c of this. I felt like that whole nine months was a waste and the thought of starting over made me freak out. She told me I might as well get drunk since I had messed up. She also had tried to make me quit taking lexapro against my doctors advice. Those AA people are NOT doctors many of them don’t even have a college degree yet they act like they are the gods of alcohol. So I am asking where else I can go. Please don’t tell me this was just my group, I went all over the city of phoenix and they were all alike.
Do You Have Alcoholism
Am I an Alchol Dependent person?
The terms ‘alcoholism’ refers to the ailment of chronic addiction to alcoholic drinks. It is a sickness that, if left untreated, almost inevitably wrecks a person’s life, both through the damage the alcoholic substances does to the addicted person’s health and due to the wider effects on the alcoholic person’s job, family, social life, etc.
Help Your Addict/alcoholic Hit Bottom
No one, absolutely no one does anything without a reason or with out leverage of some sort. The same holds true for addiction of any kind. If there is no reason to get clean and sober, they won’t. If nothing ever happens that is all that bad, they won’t. Many just keep lowering their standards. In our current economic down turn, we will see more and more individuals falling deeper into their addictions. The truly sad part is the family will watch, not having a clue what to do, or the resources for solution.
Brothers Alcohol Addiction? Need help please!?
I’m a 16 year old male. I’ve had to put up with experiences of seing my brother rot away in alcohol. Many days of seing him drinking litre bottles of vodka, through the little space in the door. He’s been doing this a long time now and it’s breaking our family’s emotions, he is very selfish and carefree i truly think as he does not listen to people in various occassions of heavy drinking, my sister is just neglecting him now as she has helped him so much in the past, but enough is enough for her, because he just keeps repeating himself.
He has been to rehab for 6 months previously.
Drug/alcohol addiction treated like an illness but food addiction people are just called fat, why is that?
I know people who go to N.A. and A.A. and it is free, 2 of them even receive SSI payments as they are too “addicted” to work. I on the other hand, have a food addiction. I’m morbidly obese because of it, but Weight Watchers meetings charge me money to attend. Drug addicts have clinics they can go to for free medical care, I have to pay to go to gym. Mine addiction I’m told is one I can give up with will power, but they have a “disease”..I want to know why is it different? I am so tired of trying only to be shut down at every try and my health insurance would pay for me to go in rehab, but not for weight loss clinic or program. I feel like I should start being a druggie to get any help!
Let me give you a few details. I care for my 80 yr old mother and my 2 grandkids as their parents are off on drugs somewhere and I only get $335 from state to help pay for their care. I work 2 jobs just to pay bills and 1 of them is at fast food, the other is for insurance office. I cannot afford to buy better insurance and not eligible for state insurance because they say I make too much. By the end of working 14 hours a day M-F and 8 on Sat, plus all the housework, I am just too tired to work out. And there are plenty of free services for bulimia and anorxia, but not for food addition. I’m not making excuses I just want to know why the system is step up this way.
I eat for free at restaurant job and with the amount I earn I have to because the money has to go to pay for rent/utilities and childcare the state only allows me 40hours a week for the 2 kids. My grocery budget for 4 of us is $50 a week, so we eat as cheap as possible and yes that means alot of canned foods and such. People need to get off their high horses and walk a mile in someone elses shoes.

Getting into Alcohol Recovery
There are many individuals that develop an issue with alcohol addiction. People who suffer with an addiction in the area of alcohol develop the addiction for many different reasons. Alcohol can serve as short term mental and physical relief for numerous individuals.
As alcoholism progresses, the amount of alcohol that an individual is able to tolerate becomes greater. The body of an individual that is suffering from alcohol addiction may feel as if it requires the drinks in order to function properly. This can lead to craving even more alcohol without any increase in effect.This ends up leaving the addicted alcoholic feeling as if they have no control over the situation.
Are You an Alcoholic That Needs Help
Most alcoholics may have a clue about their problem but most are clueless. That is also the reason people who can be considered an alcoholic are not convinced about their needs to have an alcohol treatment. If you are one of those with a hint of the excessive drinking habit that you have but is not sure about needing an addiction recovery program, then you must know what kind of alcohol drinker you are based on the real meaning of the difference in the terms between alcohol abuse and alcoholism.
Not every person abusing alcohol can be considered an alcoholic. Surprising, right? It is true that the idea is confusing. However, it must be clear to you that both have the excessive alcohol use and it can be unhealthy. Either way alcohol treatment is a good idea for an alcohol abuser and an alcoholic for better health. Moreover, an addiction recovery program for better control of the alcohol temptation.
