        The only way I know to help an alcoholic/addict with a using 
        problem is to be supportive of them when they appear ready to
        quit.  When they are ready you may make a few suggestions
        to them:
                1) Detox center
                2) Treatment Center (Be prepared to do alot of paper work)
                3) Halfway house for alcoholic/addicts...(This is where I got
                   straight).
                4) Alocoholics Anonymous
        The real deal is that the first three are all going to suggest 
        the fourth.  It is known fact to anyone who has been in recovery
        for some time that it is not likely that you will find a cure
        for your friend/family member.  Addiction is a disease that is
        not cureable.  It can be put in remission though.  
                                                Good luck
                                                        Marty
