Alcoholism Recovery & Treatment

Question by C.G.: Why do so many people here think their hangovers are “alcohol poisoning”?
I’ve seen multiple questions today of people typing out long questions claiming they must have alcohol poisoning. All their symptoms are just classic hangover symptoms. Why don’t people realize if they have alcohol poisoning if they’re not unconscious they will be close to it and they will be in the hospital getting their stomach pumped? There is HUGE difference…
I read one today that was like “Should I go to the hospital and get my stomach pumped? I threw up a few times”

*Rolls eyes*

Question by adilene d: Can someone here tell me how to find an alcohol rehab in Monroeville, Pennsylvania?
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?

You could take your daughter to the doctor. That way, he could properly check up on her and tell you what kind of treatment program would best suit her and which treatment centers have this kind of program. You can also check out the links I’ve sent below.

I’m sorry about what had happened to your husband. I really hope your daughter gets better soon.

You need support in getting through this. Have you tried AA? One of the members will stay with you and help you through any desire to relapse.

request of LJ : Treatment “Alcoholism and Drug Addiction,” Who knows what at stake here? I know that addiction is a disease, but cure is complete abstinence. How can this man say that is light? For me, this means again that you drink or use drugs. You might as well give a gun to a drug addict or alcoholic, because if he or she is reemployed as murder is the best answer: response pmay
I really think that if alcohol or drug dependence, you are pretty much recovery, but the rest of their lives. A “cure” I guess means the use and treatment of problems in a healthy way, but I do not think it is, you can go ahead and drink again. Some people just can not handle.
