An intervention is an orchestrated attempt by family and friends to get a family member, friend, or loved one to seek help for an addiction or other similar problems. When one has tried everything possible to inspire or convince their loved one that they need help, but they will not admit into a program, an addiction intervention program is a successful tool in helping you help your loved one escape from the grips of denial, rationalization and projection.
By approaching them from a place of love and compassion, with help facilitated by a addiction interventionist, you will be helping them understand the problem that they have and that a treatment program is needed. Using a professional interventionist will not only ensure that you have taken the appropriate approach, but will also give you peace of mind knowing that you have expressed your love and concern in a professional, impacting, and very effective manner.
Addiction Intervention Process
An intervention is a very strategic process that must be facilitated and properly executed by an addiction intervention specialist to ensure desired results. In order to effectively perform a substance intervention, an intervention team will be established and then thoroughly prepared with the information required for attaining success. All parties involved will understand the purpose, process and techniques of the intervention.

My 26 year old Son is addicted to smoking blues.
I guess is what it’s called.
He was or may still be smoking Heroin and now pills.
He used to be so full of life and had so much energy and he loved to work.
But now all He is focused on is getting high and when where and how He’s going y
to get His next fix.
That’s all He does other that sleep.
I am so afraid that He is going to die and He won’t even acknowledge anything I say about Him getting Help.
I know He hears me but doesn’t listen and He talks about wanting to quit and have a better life but I know that He’s afraid to go through withdrawals and How to get back into a normal life again.
He’s been doing Opiates for several Years and He seems to think that smoking fetinayl isn’t going to hurt or kill Him.
I don’t get through not one single day without worrying about Him.
I am so stressed out every day crying out of fear of losing My Son to Him overdosing.
I’ve already lost Him in every other way.
He is so lost
