The family wants to do an intervention, but his self esteem is so minimal that we fear it will reinforce his negative view of himself and instead of accepting the help, he will leave and commit suicide. Also, we would like to place him in an inpatient rehab facility. Does anyone know of an affordable facility?

A very good friend of mine is an alcoholic (she’s 26 years old). She has been for as long as i’ve known her and she’s been to rehab, lived in halfway houses, she’s been arrested for 2 DUI’s (this was before I knew her). Recently, the 2 year romantic relationship she was in dissolved (they are living together). This was mostly becauses of the alcoholism – she can go into rages when she drinks and has no real quality of life outside of bars/drinking. She also works in a bar.
The part where I come in (except that I desperately have wanted to help her for years and have extended support) is that now she’s accusing me having an affair with her ex-significant other. Although I am hurt, more importantly I’m scared of what these accusations represent – she’s totally paranoid (she’s shown signs of it in the past). I’m afraid years of heavy drinking have left with a mental disorder. I know I can’t commit her – or force her to get help… But I know she’ll die if she doesn’t. Any advice?
Well, it’s complicated… I am in the mental health field, and I know you can’t get help for someone against their will – she’s not NECESSARILY suicidal or homocidal, but I’d hate to see what happens if she takes a wrong turn. I guess I just wanted some support.
