My best friend is very addicted to alcohol. How can I help in this personal issue?

You can easily locate alcohol and drug rehabilitation clinics in your city or town. Check the directory focused on your town and state. Check into free aid on how to help an addicted loved one. Good luck to you

First you should have a talk with him/her and let them know you are concerned. They check your local listings for Alcoholic Anonymous and get the person enrolled into a program or you could probably check with your local hospital for a program. The person has to want to cure him/herself though in order to be successful. Good luck

go to the national council on alcoholism! they shoud have a list! of detox centers that your friend can look into! sounds like you are good friend to be concerned about him!! i, too, am recovering from alcohol, with 6 years sober now, and my l;ife got better! he needs to learn that alcoholism is a progressive disease, and life can!! be much better without it!! good luck!! the internet can provide good information!! dandidonna63yahoo.com is my contact! let me know if he gets help!!

Try looking up your local chapter of Al-Anon.Al-Anon may be listed in the white pages of your local telephone directory. Cities with local information services are listed on our Web site.

i say talk to your parents. ask what you could do to help with his problem. you might want to talk to his parents about maybe seeing a doctor or someone that will know how to deal with it.

How old is your friend and how addicted is he or she? If your friend is under the legal age you could report them to a parent or someone who can do something about it. If you both are adults try not drinking or partaking in drinking around him or her and encourage others to do the same. Have a group of loved ones all talk to the friend about the concerns and if he or she is willing to get help there are medical ways to help so see a doctor to see what is best for your friend. Good luck and your friends lucky to have you care so much about their health.
