Ways to help a family member with a drinking problem is by being there for them, offer to get help for them and no matter what, don't enable them!
It may not be that she doesn't believe you; she may be in denial that her daughter is an alcoholic, too. Chances are she may be blaming herself for her daughter's drinking, since she is an alcoholic also. If you can't get the mother to listen to you, then try another adult family member of her daughter. Talk to them, and tell them about the daughter's drinking problem, and ask them to help her get the help she needs. If they won't help, or if there are no other adult family members to help you, then contact AA, who can, and will, give you the advice you need to help her. They may also be able to help the mother with her drinking too, if the mother is willing to admit that she has a drinking problem, and accept the help.
Hoarding is a psychological problem. There can be many reasons why your family member may be a hoarder. There are services available to you and your family member. Both a psychologist and a professional organizer will help your family member and a declutter plan will be put into place.
An intervention with a family member that has a substance abuse will only work when the family member is willing to help themselves. They must acknowledge that they have a problem and want help. You can intervene by booking them into a rehab clinic, but ultimately it will only work if the person is willing to accept help.
There are several avenues of help for any individual who admits to themselves that they have an alcohol dependency problem. Organisations such as Alcoholics Anonymous can be found locally and there are also organisations to help the family as well such as Addaction.
Did not know this med could help with that. Concerned about a family member with a problem like this.
depends on the seriousness of the drinking problem... if you are an actual acoholic then you should consider a treatment program along with the help of a 12 step recovery program.. i am a member of AA myself and know that if you truly want help you can get it but only if you're ready... for someone who has a drinking problem but isn't an alcoholic, i don't know what to say.. maybe consider speaking with a doctor who can prescribe you medication to help with the cravings and stuff... good look and god bless
Teenagers can seek help from school counselors, who can provide support and resources for dealing with a family member's drinking. Local community organizations, such as Al-Anon or Alateen, offer peer support groups specifically for young people affected by someone else's alcohol use. Additionally, trusted adults, such as teachers, coaches, or family friends, can be valuable sources of guidance and assistance. Online resources and hotlines can also provide information and support.
