VerifiedI think she needs several types of therapy. They probably address the addiction first because a substance effects the mood and is dangerous (but I know what you are saying). However she seems to be suffering from either situational depression or chronic depression. If this isn't addressed, then people self medicate with alcohol or drugs. Both of these need to be addressed. She needs mental health therapy that addresses depression and why she drinks. She may need an evaluation for both therapy and medication. It sounds like their are possibly some self esteem issues which can be addressed in therapy. Alcohol is complicating her mood by making an imbalance worse. Any grief can be included in her treatment plan to be part of her treatment. Find a rehab, program, etc. that includes mental health and addiction.
