Intervention

A well-orchestrated drug or alcohol intervention can be the beginning of a life changing journey of healing for your loved one. Through the compassionate participation of family and friends, the individual struggling with addiction is shown the harm their behavior is having on those around them and, most of all, on themselves. With this painful reality illuminated, a skilled, trained interventionist then extends a genuine invitation to accept help.

Intervention is often misunderstood as an angry confrontation. The truth is that a well-facilitated intervention is the most compassionate thing you can do for someone struggling with addiction. Guided by love, kindness, and unwavering family support, intervention creates a space to invite your loved one to take part in their own healing.

Watching someone caught in the cycle of drug or alcohol addiction can leave family fand friends feeling entirely powerless. The behavior of your loved one may be hurtful and completely out of character. Trust has likely been damaged and attempts to encourage them to seek treatment often result only in defensiveness and emotional arguments. An educated, experienced interventionist can help navigate these challenges and promote the need for healing within the family system.

Those who struggle with addiction almost always have low self-worth and are carrying an immense amount of shame underneath denial. There is often also a history of trauma and/or other mental health challenges. An effective interventionist will take these things in to account and guide the family through the intervention process in a way that ensures an atmosphere of respectful, supportive accountability.
