Question by ChrisluvYahoo: What is the best way to treat an alcoholic with a serious problem (in UK)?
What is the best way to help a parent with a severe alcohol addiction? This person is even suicidal with 2 recent hospital admissions – however the hospital care is only concerned with his physical health – not his mental health or his addiction. The GP (regular doctor) seems not to be concerned either. What are the best resources I can get in touch with?
