My brother has been gobbling up way too much liquor for the past five months or so, and I'm terribly worried. His work has been badly affected by his alcoholism that he nearly got fired. I hope someone out there can lend a helping hand.

God bless and good luck.
addition:
If he has been drinking consistently and heavily the last thing he should do is stop on his own. This can be very dangerous. Get him to a hospital if you feel he needs to and will go. Otherwise, the first thing a treatment center will tell you is for him to take a drink if he feels he needs one. They will give him the proper medications to help him detox once he is there.

My father has been drinking too much alcohol lately, and I'm honestly alarmed. She developed the habit when my mother died two years ago. Please help me... :(

My mother really needs to get herself treated for her alcohol addiction. Ever since my brother died, she's never been back to her old self. I want so much to help her. Maybe if I find an addiction treatment center and do an alcohol intervention, maybe she'll consent to treatment. I just don't know where to start. Please help.
I've already included a list of treatment centers and rehabs that you could check out. You can call them and ask for their help for the intervention. Have you talked to your mom about her alcohol consumption? She probably has no idea how much this is affecting you. I'm sorry about your brother too, it must be hard.
You can also call a helpline, 800-559-9503 if you want to talk about this. You can also ask their assistance for finding the right addiction treatment center. Good luck! I sincerely hope your mother recovers soon.
I never really thought that someone so close to me would be suffering from alcohol addiction. It's my sister. I guess it was because we have always been brought up aware of the negative effects of alcohol that I never thought any one of my siblings would turn out to be an alcoholic. She's really different now, and I want her to go back to the way she once was. I wish to get her treated. How can I find treatment centers for her?
Does your sister want to get treated? If she doesn't want to, getting her treated may be a lot harder than it would be if she wants to get treated. You can convince her by doing an intervention. As for finding addiction treatment centers, this is pretty easy. You can ask a doctor or healthcare provider for some recommendations regarding treatment centers. You can also look through the links that I have attached below. These have lists of addiction treatment centers in the area you have specified. I really hope your sister gets to undergo treatment soon.

How to Pay for Drug or bAlcohol Treatment/b
If you are dependent on alcohol or drugs and want to enter treatment, you may be understandably concerned about the cost of such programs. In fact, addiction treatment can be quite costly, depending on the severity and duration of the substance being abused by the person seeking to quit. How can you figure out how to pay for drug and alcohol treatment?
Research Treatment Options
The first step in the process should be to locate the right treatment facility to meet your needs. Whether that is an inpatient hospital or residential treatment center specializing in addiction treatment, or outpatient treatment, determine which treatment facility can best address your particular situation.
The second step is to contact each of the treatment providers on your list and ask a series of questions. You may also wish to visit the ones you’re really interested in to see first hand how they operate, and to get a better sense of the kind of care you will be receiving at the facility. Ask for literature and all costs associated with the treatment, and various treatment options each may offer. Some residential treatment facilities, for example, offer outpatient treatment, aftercare treatment and other services.
...Promises Urges Parents to Watch for Binge-Drinking Issues as b.../b
According to a report from the US National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), drinking-related deaths among students aged 18 to 24 have increased steadily from 1,440 a year in 1998 to 1,825 in 2005. Forty-five percent of college students admitted to binge drinking in the past month, and 29 percent of students admitted to driving under the influence of alcohol.
In addition, recent studies are showing an alarming trend of women being arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Nationwide, 126,000 women were arrested for DUI in 1998—a number that climbed to 162,000 in 2007. This could be due to a societal change, with women being more likely to take risks and engage in binge drinking, especially in college.
Although an increasing amount of colleges are teaming up with local police and community members to curb college drinking, more needs to be done at home to educate young people on the devastating effects of binge drinking.
Dr. David Sack, CEO of Promises Treatment Centers, addiction treatment programs in Malibu and West Los Angeles, says that parents can help prevent their children from binge drinking in college by staying involved in their children’s lives and by talking to them about the consequences of drinking heavily.
