Alcoholism / Failure to Launch
A journey in overcoming addiction
Spencer, 29 years old, Boston
SITUATION
Spencer, a 29-year-old man, faced multiple hospitalizations due to various health issues, including digestive and pancreatic concerns. Unbeknownst to his concerned mother, Spencer struggled with severe alcohol addiction, which significantly impacted his health and well-being. His family office reached out to us for assistance.
SUPPORT
Upon Spencer's discharge from the hospital, we immediately took action. Recognizing the urgency of his situation, we arranged for his treatment at a reputable alcohol treatment center, where we successfully negotiated a discount for his care. After completing a two-month inpatient program, we seamlessly transitioned Spencer into a six-month outpatient program to ensure continued progress and support. As he continued to get better, we added a career counselor to his medical team and communicated key information to that counselor about his situation.
OUTCOME
Following his treatment, Spencer experienced a significant turning point in his life. With our ongoing support, he secured a job that provided him with newfound purpose and structure. This job not only helped him maintain his sobriety but also served as a vital step in overcoming his struggle with failure-to-launch syndrome, a condition in which young adults struggle to transition into adulthood and achieve independence. Spencer's journey exemplifies the transformative impact of comprehensive support, highlighting Wellworth's commitment to guiding individuals toward healthier and more fulfilling lives.
