Drug Intervention – What a Family Needs to Know to Do One
When a family has to intervene on behalf of a loved one who is destroying their own lives and the lives of those around them, what do you do?
Alcohol and drug interventionists are specialists providing family services to rapidly get an alcoholic or addict to demand change. What most mothers and fathers wish is that their son or daughter simply ask for help or follow through with a program.
Whether you’re going to carry out a family style meeting or you decide to get a professional, there are specific steps to take. If you need help deciding on professional interventionists, we work with licensed companies regularly when sending someone to a Narconon rehab center.
Key Steps of Intervention at Narconon page
- Stay focused on what you as a family want to accomplish. Don’t get side tracked into playing ‘Let’s make a deal’ with an addicted person. Stay objective, focused and calm. Your purpose should be a specific location of a specific detox / rehab center that has a long-term recovery plan.
- Don’t get sucked into arguing, upsets or whose fault everything is. That doesn’t matter at this time. Focus on getting that person to an effective addiction program.
- Make sure everyone who will be confronting the alcoholic or addicted person is on the same page. You want to be sure you’re in agreement with each other and what everyone will do if ___ happens. Have a rehearsed and arranged plan.
Contact us for help in getting a loved one off of drugs. They may be using cocaine, heroin, alcohol or other pills. The abuse may be significant and they may have failed in the past. All these conditions do not bar them from succeeding with a program today.
