>>Ah.
Hmm.
Well...
Over here if someone has a problem they typically come to the attention of the courts at which point they are ordered to undertake treatment.
If family members are concerned they can go up to the courthouse and attempt to put a treatment order on them. It will be decided by a judge and at that point they may be ordered to undertake treatment.
If someone wanted to find out their treatment options, or find them out on behalf of a family member, they would tend to ring the alchohol hotline or the citizens advice beauro or something like that...
Or ask at WINZ (work and income NZ) if they were unemployed...wow that sounds so much better than what goes on over here. It takes alot to get a person treatment if they dont want it.
I am actually really interested in that 1 year law program, that sounds like a dream come true for me. Or even the moderation program. I will definately be checking those things out. hearing things like that make me actually want to stick out school :-) I wont be there forever.
