Help with Alcoholics
Discussion
A friend of mine has an alcoholic relative who has recently been hospitalised and nearly died. The hospital now looking to release him but there is no one to help only my friend. Rehab has been tried and not worked and huge cost to it. Is there support for someone like this or care that can be adopted or would you have to section someone, but assume you'd need good grounds for this?
A sad story, but not sure if there is any help for them as how do you look after a mature alcoholic?

Crikey some tragic stories on here, thanks for sharing.
I think my friend is now taking him in at home. As some have suggested I don't think this is a good idea, distance being better but then very difficult to turn away and not try and help. I hope it doesn't backfire on them. Scary as there is not a lot you can do about it it seems other than try and help and hope it isn't too damaging.
