When you are looking at an intervention about an addiction to drugs or alcohol. A lot of emotions are involved. The person addicted has usually created a lot of upsets, disappointment and even illegal behavior towards the family and friends.

As should perhaps go without saying, interventions are inherently intimate events. There is invariably plenty of raw emotion on display during the crisis intervention process, and only those interventions suffused with thorough and supportive honesty can ever really be successful. The practical implication of all that is that you need an intervention specialist with whom you feel comfortable.

A drug and alcohol intervention only matters to the extent that it produces long-term drug and alcohol recovery.
