Interventions

Intervention is often the last resort for families struggling to get a loved one to accept the help that he/she so clearly needs. It is important to research and select the best fit for your family and the potential client when looking at an intervention. Often families are fearful to intervene, feeling that it may cause more harm; however it is often what saves their loved one's life.

Typically intervention is a two-day process. Usually Day One consists of the family receiving education from the interventionist on what intervention consists of, how he or she will approach the addict, what is expected of the family during the process and all of the logistics of the intervention itself. On Day Two, or Intervention Day, the actual intervention occurs. Intervention often has a negative connotation, however when approached appropriately it's a very respectful and loving process. We encourage families to utilize an interventionist if considering an intervention, as the chances of success increase when a professional is involved.

Often, with the close emotional ties loved ones have to the addict, there is a possibility of emotions getting the best of us. When there is a professional interventionist involved, he or she is present to keep emotions in check so that everyone continues working together in the goal of getting their loved one to accept substance abuse treatment. Often, without the professional interventionist present, things can veer off course as this is a difficult situation for all involved. We understand this and can assist as a resource in selecting an interventionist and helping clients to better understand the intervention process.
