Message Subject What to do with out-of-control 19 year old girl?

So I need some help guys.. Need some advice from either parents or people who have gone through this.

The girl is 19 years old, lives at home with her parents, freshman at community college. She has been secretly drinking on an ongoing basis for the last few months. She has a serious alcohol problem, when she drinks she cant stop and becomes in a "zombie" like state, a total mess, you can see it in her eyes more than I have ever seen alcohol affect ANYONE! She has been this way since last summer, when she went off to a university and binge drank for about 2 months straight before the semester started. She didnt go to any classes and her parents had to pull her out since they were paying for the schooling.

Why does alcohol affect her like this? Is it because she established alcoholism over the summer with the binge drinking? Will she always act like this when she drinks?

Anyway, she started attending online college and her parents thought she was making progress. Instead she started isolating herself and secretly drinking in her room all night and sleeping through the days. She was passing her classes so her parents thought she was doing good but really she was just going through a deep depression and escaping by drinking.

Her parents finally caught onto her behavior and confronted her. She locked herself in her room and packed her bags and ran away with no plans. She has been binge drinking since she left and running around barefoot and completely out of her mind. Hanging with a horrible crowd doing who knows what.

She is totally out of control, but is a smart girl with a bright future. I care deeply about this girl and we need to get her into rehab but she will not want to. What can be done?

Sounds like something happened OP, if this has happened all of a sudden for no reason then there is you're clue. Try as hard as you can to make her talk to you. She is isolating herself from everyone. I think if she is a danger to herself there are things you can do or her family can do.

Yes we have all been trying to figure out what caused this. She is in 1 on 1 counselling twice a week.. and everyone in her life, including her, will tell you she had a great childhood and the original cause of this problem is undetermined.
