WHY AN INTERVENTION SHOULD BE FIRST
After doing your research on addiction treatment centers, you’ve found the facility that you believe best suits your loved one’s needs. The question that follows is:
Now, how do I get my loved one to agree to this treatment?
Maybe you’ve tried before, and he/she has said “no”. When you’ve approached them, they walk away and don’t want to talk about it. They deny having a problem. Even though it’s very clear that they do. Arguing, compromising, and even pleading have not worked.
This is where an intervention can make a very big difference.
An Intervention is a well-planned and executed conversation with the aid of a professional. This conversation will be unlike any you’ve ever had before. Your family will be prepared and better equipped to deliver a new message to your loved one. A message that says: “We love you and we will support you 100% in your efforts to recover, but we will no longer support your addiction.” “We won’t enable you anymore and we need you to get help”. “Our family wants change and that change begins today.
professional interventionist will guide your family and provide education and insight on the disease of addiction and will help your family understand your loved one’s behaviors and their own (enabling and boundaries), and set goals for ongoing recovery. All along providing your family with the support they need.
Of course, all that is said during an intervention is said with a whole lot of love. However, it is also said with firmness, purpose, and determination.
