 Finding the right “Drug or Alcohol Rehabilitation Center” for your loved one is not an easy process, you search the Internet and call center after center and all you hear is "we are the best Rehabilitation Center for your loved one." Every place you call is "The Best" if you listen to the sales people from the centers. Make no mistake these people for the most part are "Sales People" and they are paid to get you into that specific program.

 Many parents are facing a difficult situation when they know their son or daughter is abusing drugs or alcohol but is denying it. As parents we want to do the right thing but at the same time we do not want to over react, or maybe just do not know what steps to take. When a person is in denial and not admitting they have a problem with drugs or alcohol, it does not mean there is nothing you can do, there are solutions.

 Many families that have loved ones addicted to Drugs or Alcohol are standing by and waiting for their loved one to hit bottom. They are waiting for their loved one to ask for help, or to say they are willing to get help. The truth is that a drug addict or alcoholic has put himself or herself in a position where they have lost the ability to realize that there is actual help. It has come to the point that the only way of life they know is staying high; they no longer have the cognitive ability to realize they can live a sober productive life. When they do have some clean time, everyday is a struggle and an agonizing battle to stay that way.

My youngest brother died on March 24th, 2003 due to years of alcoholism. The months following his death were marked by incredible pain, sadness and often anger directed at him. " How could you do this to yourself, how could you do this to your family"? So many unanswered questions for him which he can no longer answer. I started asking myself what we, his family, could have done different to prevent his death at the age of 39. I realized that we had no understanding about alcoholism and its deadly consequences. We did not understand that he had absolutely no control over his life and was not able to stop  drinking without proper help. We got mad when we smelled alcohol on him, we laughed when he was too drunk to find the bathroom and used the hallway closet, we made fun at him when he cut himself shaving or spilling his coffee because his body was deprived of alcohol and his hands were shaking so bad. We also made excuses for him when he was too sick to go to work and we always made sure that he had enough alcohol at home so he would not drive intoxicated. We enabled him, but we did not help him!!!! Six years have passed since his death, years filled with deep regret and sorrow for not intervening when his life was spinning out of control and we watched him destroying his health, his marriage, his life. Years of regret for not getting informed about this deadly disease while he was still alive, deep regret for not bringing him to a good long-term alcohol rehab center and getting him the help he so desperately needed and which would have saved his life.
