A rule of thumb would be that if somebody is beginning to get to the stage where their everyday life is being impaired as a result of their addiction, that’s the point to seek a therapist, so if they begin to miss days at work, if they find that they’re not able to essentially function, as well as they previously could in day-to-day life.
