Question by abigail s.: I want to find an alcohol rehab in Wyckoff, New Jersey but I don’t know how. Can anyone help me with this?
I just really want to help an old friend of mine. We’ve been friends since childhood and I didn’t anticipate that it would end up like this– that she would someday (which is now) be an alcoholic. We have always looked out for each other, and she has always been kind of like a big sister to me. So now it’s my turn to be like a big sister to her by helping her find an alcohol rehab for herself. How will I do this?

A good thing to do would be to take her to a doctor. The doctor will be able to assess her situation as well as tell you of the treatment programs and alcohol rehab that you should take her to. You can also check out the links below that I have provided. These contain lists of the alcohol rehabs in the area you have specified. I really hope that your friend gets well soon. It’s always tough to see a loved one suffering from the effects of alcohol addiction. Good luck.

I’ve been relying on alcohol lately, and it’s gotten to the point wherein it’s already a problem. My marriage is already experiencing strains because of this. I want to get help. How should I start?

There’s this Center for Marital and Family therapy in Manhattan. You could try checking that out and see if they do treatment programs for alcoholics like you. Otherwise, they could help you patch up things with your husband and to better your relationships at home.

Good luck!

Question by robin0408: I want to find out what kind of drug you can take that has similar effects to alcohol?
I am trying to identify what is causing this behavior in someone. The effects are slurred speech, loss of coordination, stumbling and general clumsiness, and appearing generally incoherent. It seems this person is drunk, however, that has been ruled out completely. There’s a couple other behaviors that are occasionally displayed that seem dissimilar to alcohol. The first is avoiding contact. In a house full of people, they will go “hide” for hours and hours often under the guise of sleeping, which is completely out of character otherwise. The second is the occasional burst of energy causing random chores to be done. This is extremely disruptive, of course, because of the general lack of coordination and stumbling around.

What the ef is this person on? I’ve searched and searched and can’t find anything, but other than a bottle of booze, I don’t know what I’m looking for.

Help!
A couple of notes to add after seeing some of the answers:
1. I have talked to this person repeatedly. They are a long-time alchohol abuser and used to being accused of things. Well versed in denying things. Of course, everything is denied.
2. I know it is a drug of some sort and not a medical condition because it just happens to spring up on the weekends and never manages to interfere with work.
3. Have found a bunch of ambien – would this do it?

You may not find anything and ultimately the best way to find out is to ask the person by sharing your concerns with them. However, I used to have a friend who displayed similar behaviour whilst taking cannabis and magic mushrooms. You can find out more information about different types of drugs on many internet sites.
