Getting Help With Addiction

A friend told me about her colleague whom she suspects is a drug addict. I am sure that you would notice that nowadays, someone who is addicted to a substance is not as obvious as addicts of the old days. My friend would like to help the colleague out but don't know how.

When she sought my advice, all I could tell her is that drug rehab is the only way for him, if it's really true that he is addicted to a substance. Getting drug treatment is nothing to be shameful about. In fact, it takes guts to admit that he has a problem and seeks help from professionals.

I have a friend who found success at an alcohol treatment center. I would like to recommend it to another friend of mine who is seriously addicted to alcohol but he denies that he needs alcohol treatment. What can I do when he is living in self denial?

I have read through the website of Axis House, a drug and alcohol rehab center and I really like what they are doing to help people to kick off an addiction. I think that this friend, and everyone who is in the same shoes, should give themselves a chance by allowing others to help them.
