What is an intervention?
An intervention is when a substance abuser's behavior is disrupted through the help of loving family members and a trained specialist.

Under what circumstances do interventions take place?
Often times the drug addict or alcoholic in your life will not feel as though their use is a problem. Even if they are hurting themselves and other people their addiction has taken over their life and stunted their ability to make rational decisions. Interventions take place when the situations are getting worse, however if you have a situation in which someone is physically hurtful or threatening you may need to seek emergency assistance before looking to intervention.

Crisis and drug interventions can occur within the new client's house or if the client is a minor, it can also occur at the treatment center itself. Our specialists understand that the whole family needs to be involved with an intervention and that while there is one person causing problems in the family the other members need to be willing to look at themselves.

Do interventions really work?
Interventions in conjunction with longer-term treatment and recovery care centers provide the stable foundation needed to succeed in life without drugs or alcohol. If your loved one's problem is not alcohol or drug related but has a problem with depression, eating disorders, grief, emotional instability, etc, there is also success in these areas when a effective treatment program is used to follow the intervention. Interventions are just the first step in the journey back to health and stability and are absolutely necessary when a person is unwilling to seek help for his/herself.
