Could someone give me Information on helping someone detox from alcohol?

Asked by Unbroken (10746points) May 31st, 2013

I have an old friend, now more of a facebook friend. Ever since I decided to expose my illness to my facebook friends as a way of coming out she has been texting me.

Today she started crazy texting me. Turns out she’s decided to dt outside of the hospital and she says I am one of her motivations for doing so. She asked me to text her or answer so we have been doing that all day she won’t tell me where she is or if any one is with her.

I haven’t told her this but if she did tell me I would send an ambulance.

She also said she didn’t want me to bring her anything or see her like this. So I have no idea where she is at. Or if anyone is with her or how bad she is. She sounds really garbled and erratic.

I also don’t know anything about detox. I have no idea from clinical aspect or from a personal level, being there for someone or what it feels like to go through or how long it will last. I have no idea what to say or talk about or distract her with. Also it is past 1 and I have to be up at the very latest by 6 and she’s only getting more frequent. I have stuff to do when I get off of work and sleep is something I need desperately though it is hard for me and I am almost always exhausted. So I need sleep. I am not thinking logically right now.

Any advice?
