A Structured, Supportive Conversation That Opens the Door to Recovery
WHAT IS AN INTERVENTION?
An intervention is a carefully planned and structured conversation where family members, friends, and an experienced interventionist come together to encourage an individual to seek treatment for substance abuse. This process aims to help the individual recognize the impact of their addiction and accept professional help in a supportive and non-judgmental setting.
Goals of an Intervention:
Break Through Denial: Address resistance to treatment and open the door to recovery.
Supportive Approach: Offer a loving, non-blaming environment that fosters acceptance.
Immediate Treatment Options: Present clear, actionable paths to treatment.
Firm Boundaries and Consequences:Set healthy boundaries to encourage a willingness to seek help.
