my brother has battled with drug and alcohol problems for years.He now has a colostomy bag and 1 leg. He no longer wants to live, what can I do?

I was just wondering about this since a friend of mine wants to suggest something to her parents so that they may be able to put their son in the right drug rehab. What are the factors to consider?

I’d like to know if there’s a way to rid my liver of the effects of alcohol when I go out and have a few drinks.

We live in Kansas. My husband has a very severe alcohol addiction. He has decided that he is ready to seek help. However, we have no insurance, and not even enough income to cover our basic bills. How can we get help for him, when we have no money? Is there a way to have him involuntarily committed, that would get the state to pay for it? Serious answers only, please! I am going through enough without having to deal with a bunch of idiots!

how successful can alcohol rehab be if someone does not believe in a higher power (God or anything)? It’s one of the steps and my boyfriend is having trouble with that step but really wants to get better…. any suggestions???
the program he is in is telling him he has to believe in a higher power… please give me some feed back as to what I can do to help him get through this….

My friend’s consumption of alcohol has really gotten way out of hand. I already convinced her to get herself treated and fortunately, she’s already said yes. I want to be able to help by at least finding an alcohol rehab for her. How will I do this?

My daughter has turned to alcohol ever since her dad died. They were always so close and his passing away was really hard on her. Last night we had a talk, and I made her realize that her dad won’t be happy with her if he knew what she was doing to herself. She has already agreed to treatment. What should I do in order for me to find an alcohol rehab for her?

I’m scared that my brother will go back to his old ways once he goes out of alcohol rehab. I know it’s his life to live, but being that I care so much for him, I get hurt whenever he does something that is harmful to himself. I want to know what I can do to help him continue on being sober..

So, I work in an emergency room and last night i witnessed a death of a guy around my age. I literally saw him die right in front of my eyes, heard his last words (“I can’t breathe”) and saw him take his last breath. I am having a hard time dealing with it and had a mini anxiety attack as i pulled up to the hospital tonight to work. Now you have to understand my title is a patient sitter. I generally just sit with psychiatry patients as well as alcohol or drug detox’s. I was helping a nurse as i often do when I don’t have patients to sit for. So now I don’t know what to do, I am in shambles.. can anyone help me?

1) i drink 12-15 beers a night almost everynight…..If i stop, how long will it take to completly detox off alcohol?

2) Will exercise like walking on the treadmill help with detox?

thanks
