Successful professional interventions

A family intervention is an inherently traumatic event. Given the tensions and depth of feeling on all sides, in fact, itâ€™s easy for family interventions to devolve into mere shouting matches. But that isnâ€™t an acceptable outcome. Remember, the only point of an intervention is to convince an addict to seek addiction treatment. That can only happen in a loving, supportive environment.

The most successful crisis intervention…indeed the only successful crisis intervention…is the one that convinces an addict to enroll in a drug and alcohol rehab program. There is no other goal of the addiction intervention process, no other reason to conduct a family intervention in the first place. Interventions are only meaningful to the extent that they promote healing, and healing is only possible insofar as addicts are encouraged to seek help from addiction treatment centers. That encouragement, of course, can only occur in an environment of unfailing love and support, which is why your decision to get help from an intervention specialist may just be the most important one you ever make.

Crisis interventions are inherently traumatic events. If someone you care about is a substance abuser, there
