In the United States, over 46 million people aged 12 and older meet the criteria for a substance use disorder, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). Yet, more than 94% of those individuals did not receive any treatment. The growing crisis of opioid addiction, in particular, has claimed the lives of more than 100,000 Americans in a single year, largely due to alcoholism and fentanyl-related overdoses.

Alcohol poisoning is a critical, life-threatening condition caused by consuming a large quantity of alcohol in a short time. It occurs when the body becomes overwhelmed and can no longer process the alcohol effectively, leading to dangerously high blood alcohol levels. This impacts core functions such as breathing, heart rate, body temperature, and consciousness.

When someone you love is struggling with addiction, it’s natural to want to help. But what if they refuse to seek treatment? Can you force someone into rehab? The answer depends on state laws, legal criteria, and the severity of the addiction.

Maybe your husband or loved one is exhibiting questionable behavior related to alcohol, and it doesn't feel right.

I was struggling with the appropriate words to give to a counterpart as they worked on a blog focused on addiction and relationships. They had a section devoted to intervention and wanted to include a couple names of interventionists as resources to offer the reader. I could not possibly commit to two or even 10 names of professionals, not because I do not know and trust ten individuals, but rather because I know and trust hundreds.
