When someone you love is drinking too much, everyone has advice about what you should do.
Stop enabling them. Set boundaries. Give them an ultimatum. Wait until they hit rock bottom.
But what actually helps?
We wrote this for the spouses, parents, siblings and friends trying to figure out where helping ends and enabling begins, when to push, when to stop pushing, and what to have ready if they finally say yes.
And something every family should know: for someone who drinks heavily every day, stopping alcohol suddenly isn’t safe and typically requires medical detox.
Check out this blog, and if you or someone you love needs help with alcohol use, give us a call. We offer medically monitored detox and residential treatment, same-day admissions, and a team available 24/7 to help you take the next step.
