Denial is a hallmark characteristic of alcoholics and addicts. Therefore, convincing them that there is a problem and that treatment is necessary becomes a difficult task. While some alcoholics continue functioning for years without apparent consequences there are others for whom repercussions are frequent and major. A gentle, non-accusatory approach is best where the person is told how their drinking is affecting their relationships, work and behavior and that sobriety provides an appropriate solution. Once you can get a loved one to agree to treatment it is helpful and encouraging to accompany them in the beginning to their appointments to provide support and ensure they are being honest with those trying to help.

Does the family need treatment when an alcoholic goes into rehab?
Yes. Alcoholism is a family disease because everyone in the family is affected in some way by the actions of the alcoholic. Children may feel responsible because in their immature minds, they believe if they were better children, the alcoholic would not drink. Spouses may inadvertently promote the drinking without understanding how they could be doing it. Also, when an alcoholic goes into treatment the only thing that changes is the alcoholic. If the family dynamics don't change, the alcoholic is returning to the same toxic environment. While the family is not the cause of the drinking, a slippery slope exists giving the alcoholic an "excuse" to go back to drinking. It is important for the family to remember that they did not cause the alcoholic to drink, they cannot control the drinking and they cannot stop the alcoholic from drinking.
