Home detoxing my alcoholic friend

timesonline.co.uk — My friend Tom is an alcoholic...I helped him through a detox at my home without medically qualified supervision. It probably saved his life. But addiction specialists want to ban such do-it-yourself detoxes. The hardest thing was the impression that people, some of them close to me, were not just sceptical, but angry with me for doing it.
