Alcoholism Treatment - Intervention
Published by Stan
Excellent site that I found today.
I love it because it points out the need for Family members to get out of the way of an alcoholic. Bringing alcohol, helping throw pity parties, rescuing from bad situations only prolongs the misery -
1. Stop all “rescue missions.” Family members often try to protect
an alcoholic from the results of his behavior by making excuses to others about
his alcoholism and by getting him out of drug-related jams. It is important
to stop all such rescue attempts immediately, so that the alcoholic will fully
experience the harmful effects of his use-and thereby become more motivated
to stop. |
