How will I go about looking for addiction treatment centers in Belle Mead, New Jersey?

Question:

I don't live there, but a really close friend of mine does. She just moved there a few months ago. It really surprised me to know that now she's already struggling with alcohol addiction. She used to be so against that kind of thing. I remember her saying that it's no good to be drinking alcohol because it only dulls the brain. And now... she's afflicted with alcoholism. She called me up a few nights ago, crying on the phone, confessing and asking for help. I really want to help her, even if only by finding an addiction treatment center. How will I do this?

Answers:
It must be really hard for you to have to know that your friend is suffering from alcoholism. It's good, though, that she's already seeking treatment. That's already the first step on the way to recovery. You can ask her to go to a doctor to have her situation properly assessed, or to ask for recommendations from healthcare providers or hospital staff regarding treatment centers. The links below also have information regarding this. I hope this helps. Good luck!

do you have a therapist, or a friend who is a therapist, a friend who goes to a therapist, or a phonebook to look up a therapist? if so call up the therapist and explain the situation - that you have a friend who needs a recommendation for an addiction rehabilitation center in that area, and they will do their best to help you.

another good thing to do is to go to www.google.com and research research research! search "belle mead, nj addiction rehab centers" or whatever and see what pops up.

you got to do your research in order to find a good place
