SAN DIEGO, May 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Drug Rehab Intervention is an attempt by family members and friends to help a chemically dependent person get help for his or her addiction. The purpose of an addiction intervention is to help the substance abuser see the physical and mental destruction their addiction creates. Drug Alcohol Interventions are usually successful and often enable the abuser to move on to successful drug and alcohol treatment programs.
As with all addictions, drug and alcohol abusers are usually the last to admit there is a problem. The abuser may realize this problem, but just cannot seem to seek help. Family, friends and careers also suffer and can be destroyed by the abuser’s addiction. One out of 3 people is living with or related to someone with an alcohol or other drug problem. Intervention is the most effective technique families can use to help a loved one suffering from chemical dependency - alcoholism or other drug addiction. Intervention is the most powerful step that a family can take to initiate the recovery process. By taking action, families and friends can get help for their loved one and help for themselves as they cope. According to Drug Alcohol Intervention Resources, 92 percent of those intervened on go to treatment and have the opportunity to change their lives. Treatment centers and 12-step programs offer counseling, psychotherapy, support groups, and family therapy.
The National Intervention Referral process gives a step-by-step approach to how intervention works. First, contact Drug Alcohol Intervention facility and speak to a staff member. Second, set up a meeting with an intervention specialist to discuss the history and circumstances of the person in crisis. Third, before the actual intervention occurs, the intervention specialist will meet with the family and friends to discuss each person’s role in the intervention, their boundaries, and the consequences for the substance abuser if he or she does not follow through with the intervention. Fourth, conduct the intervention. Fifth, after the intervention has taken place, the intervention specialist will continue to spend time with the abuser and provide transportation to an arranged-in-advance treatment center. Sixth, once the individual is undergoing treatment, the intervention specialist will continue to keep contact with him or her. The intervention specialist will remain active in the recovery process and act as a liaison between the family and the recovering patient. According to National Treatment Referral the treatment centers with the greatest success rate are those treating the whole person. These treatment centers are offering physical and psychological assistance, education and training.
In conclusion, a drug and alcoholism intervention can and will save the life of a loved one that is addicted to drugs and alcohol. Families and friends must choose to not look the other way but to proactively seek help for themselves and the substance abuser.
