Question:
What are the signs that show that someone is already in need of alcohol rehabilitation?
I have a neighbor who always goes home drunk. I think his kids are getting really affected by this. His wife is abroad, so it's just him and the kids at their house. I was just wondering whether he needs alcohol rehabilitation already as I feel sorry for the kids.
Answers:
One thing you can do is to observe. However, it would be quite hard to do this as you don't live under the same roof and it looks to me as if you don't hang out with him anyway. But maybe you can get the kids to observe? These are sure signs that he has alcoholism:
* he always get a craving/strong need for alcohol
* he is unable to limit his drinking
* he has developed a tolerance for alcohol that he needs to drink a larger amount just for him to get high
* he experiences withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, sweating, and anxiety when he stops drinking alcohol
If he is indeed an alcoholic, is would be best to make him undergo even just an outpatient rehab program.
