    Tell her straight up that her drinking and pills is harming your father and she will have to find somewhere else to live. She'll throw a wobblier but don't argue or over make the point just tell her it is what it is and she needs to accept it. Then walk away let it slink in with her. Later tell her to go to the council and register as homeless, let them find her emergency accommodation You aren't a professional and you aren't equipped to help her

    If Rehab fails and she relapses i would use the sinclair method. My uncle used it and it worked for him after 20 years of addiction. You take a tablet before drinking and over time it reduces your desires. He eventually gave up booze on it

    It's not anti buse. That's a different thing. It's the main treatment plan in Finland where its 78%effective.

    It involves naltraxone but not the way it's traditionally used.

    This is not snake oil. The science is there.

    I have no issues with rehab but it costs a lot and rarely publishes statistics.

    Same with AA. They estimate it's rate of success to be only 8-12%

    The method costs you nothing bar the tablet.

    You take the tablet an hour before you drink abs gradually over time you lose the desire to drink. Usually 4 months but might take longer. Scientific studies have shown a 78% success rate

    Look up Ted talks by Claudia Christensen

    I'm not selling you anything

    The reason its not promoted by the rehab industry is obvious

    Because naltraxone is now sold generically nothing in it for the drug companies.

    It's spreading in the USA and USA but Ireland is behind.

    It's what they use in Finland

    Would an alcoholic really think "I'll have a drink in an hour, so I'll take this pill now."?

    If they want a drink, they're not going to wait an hour surely?
