Admitting you have the problem is the first step.

My dad used AA. Gives you someone to be accountable to other than the people in your life (who you are already hurting). I know he tried a few different detox/treatment centers but I really couldn't tell you which ones other than where they were located 20 years ago.

Find out about an AA meeting in your area and just show up. It will make you realize that you really are not alone in the problems you are having. From there you can get direction into other types of service providers that you might need.

Alternately, you could call your family doctor who could refer you to resources within the health care system.
