There have been quite a few shows/episodes of intervention style programs over the years now on youtube worth watching.
It's pretty much the same story of family and friends being at their wits end from someone's drinking/drugging and are willing to do anything to get this person clean.
Usually a consoler, rehab, sober houses etc,.. with some time of sobriety, but more times then not as expected, they end up going right back to where they were.
It mirrors what others are saying and the truth about getting sober is you have to want it 100% and willing to do whatever it takes to get clean, no one can force you into it.
