You can ask your friend to go to the doctor to get himself checked up properly. The doctor will then get to decide what kind of treatment program will be best for him as well as which treatment centers will be able to provide this kind of program. The links below will get to help you out too.

Just be there for your friend. Keep on supporting and encouraging him so that this ordeal won’t have to be so hard for him. Good luck!

Answer by purpledeucegirl06
Alcoholics Anonymous it’s free and the only requirement for membership is the desire to stop drinking. Very accessable worldwide. Just look up AA in the phone book. It’s usually close to the first listing.

Answer by Proud Libertarian
People are NOT put in jail for being alcoholics. They are put in jail for driving DWI / DUI, which can be done by people who are alcoholics and non alcoholics alike.

Also can you drink while in treatment?

And no they can not fire you for coming to work drunk due to alcoholism being a disease they have to try to help you the first time.
As long as you ask for help they can not fire you the first time.
