An intervention is the turning point on the ugly and destructive road to addiction.
An intervention is an organized and planned presentation of reality to the addicted individual to help them accept immediate treatment for their addiction.
The reality is that addicted individuals don't have to "hit their bottom", which is often death.
Professionally facilitated interventions are confidential, respectful, and non shaming, allowing the user to accept immediate help.
It is important that interventions are planned and facilitated with a professionally certified Interventionist. By the time an intervention is sought, most families have tried everything they possibly can to help the individual struggling with an addiction.
Understandably, the families are often left feeling frustrated, hopeless, betrayed, confused and guilty. A professional Interventionist begins the process of healing for the entire family. The Interventionist is the one person in the room who is not emotionally attached to the addicted individual. This enables a monitored environment of safety, respect, and non shaming for both the families and the addicted individual. In this environment of love, care, and concern, the addicted individual's bottom is raised, and the recovery process begins with the acceptance of treatment. Often, interventions are the last resort, so working with a highly skilled, certified Interventionist is paramount to success.
