Do you need an organization that can help you find assistance with your alcohol problem? Alcohol addiction can happen to anyone. While not everyone who drinks will become an alcoholic, heavy drinking over a long period of time makes it more likely that a problem will develop. There are many other factors, including genetics and underlying mental disorders, that can contribute to alcoholism. Millions of Americans struggle with an alcohol use disorder of some kind - from binge drinking to addiction.

Alcohol Help’s educational guide explains the options available to help individuals find the most successful path to sobriety. I am confident that our site will help those in need learn more about the issues surrounding alcohol misuse. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. www.alcoholhelp.com/treatment/how-do-i-pay-for-rehab/

Is your Child Struggling with Addiction?

Adolescents who use drugs might not become addicted in adulthood, but they can damage their health mentally, physically and emotionally during their childhoods. For a few who are particularly vulnerable, drug use can and does become an ongoing risk of addiction into their futures. There is an important distinction between illicit use and addiction. Illicit use of drugs refers to using drugs for pleasure or highs. Addiction to drugs refers to a dependence upon those substances; people who are addicted have no control over whether, when, how or how much of the drugs they crave. Addiction can be psychological, physical or both.

Grief Recovery After Substance Passing

GRASP was created to offer understanding, compassion, and support for those who have lost someone they love through addiction and overdose. Too many times we suffer not only the death of the person we love, but we become isolated in our grief. We feel, and too many times it is true, that no one understands our pain. But at GRASP, we do. We have suffered this same kind of loss and we have found the love and connection that only those who have lived this loss can give another. And while the pain of this loss will always be with us, we have found through GRASP that we don't have to walk the road that is our pain alone. We walk it together, hand in hand and heart to heart.

http://www.griefweavers.com/

We have a great children's book to help them with grief in a way they may be able to relate to and understand, the book is entitled Tuck Meets a Dragonfly and may be purchased by clicking on the lick below:

https://www.griefweavers.com/store.html#/

This delightfully illustrated and heartwarming book tells the story of a young turtle named Tuck who is struggling after the death of his Mom. Tuck's best friend, Padraic, embarks on a quest to find the answer to Tuck's questions "Is there a Turtle Heaven?" and "Is my Mom there?" Padraic seeks the help of Old Naughton, a turtle elder, who in turn asks the help of the dragonflies, Queen Emily and Katarina. Together the group brings the answers Tuck needs to begin his healing.

This uplifting story highlights ways to help grieving children. Suggestions are offered on using the story to broach the topics of grief and loss, "what happens next," and how love and friendship can heal the pain of grief.

Is your Child Struggling with Addiction?

Adolescents who use drugs might not become addicted in adulthood, but they can damage their health mentally, physically and emotionally during their childhoods. For a few who are particularly vulnerable, drug use can and does become an ongoing risk of addiction into their futures. There is an important distinction between illicit use and addiction. Illicit use of drugs refers to using drugs for pleasure or highs. Addiction to drugs refers to a dependence upon those substances; people who are addicted have no control over whether, when, how or how much of the drugs they crave. Addiction can be psychological, physical or both.
