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.

At what point in time do you ask the person involved, why they are drinking or doing drugs? Stopping drinking or doing drugs is not solving the problem that caused the so called issue.
My family member is now 27 and has been using meth for 12 years and has been shooting it up for the past 6 he’s lost his wife who is also addicted to meth now. They both lost rights to both of there children his son and daughter have been adopted off to someone on his step moms side of the family he’s not allowed any communication with them and he beats himself up over that to the point I’m not sure if there’s help for him. He needs help! there is so much more to be said about his story and I know that if he just had one shot or one person who’s able to offer him real help that he would take it and it would help so many others in his same shoes find hope! Please I’m begging you guys for help. How do I go about getting him on intervention. He’s got so much potential to help this world. Like I said earlier I haven’t even scratched the surface of this guys story on here he’s really never had a chance from the beginning of his life please someone give him this chance please!

I need help for my son. He is 42 years old. He is on drugs. The last 8 years he has pushed everyone he loved away, except for girlfriend. His two daughters have “daddy issues”, they are 20 and 18 years old. They love him, but don’t want to be around him. He has stolen almost everything he can from his grandmother (my mother) he can and sales it. The last thing has been her tv she has enabled him all his life, now he is getting “more” abuse towards her. He needs help with his drug addiction or he will be dead soon.

Im a young girl who hasn’t seen my aunt in years. We don’t contact her often, so we don’t know exactly what drugs she’s addicted to, but she definitely is. She smokes, drinks, the whole 9. I want nothing more than for her to be the aunt who spoiled us and bought us candies and loved us again. She’s bipolar and has other mental disorders, and she’s cruel to us all. She reaches out to my grandma when she’s bored and will either cuss her out or ask for money. She hasn’t been a pleasant person in years. I’ve talked about staging an intervention with my mom, but my mom believes that her mental disorders are too much and we will just make things worse. She even killed her dog from second hand smoking. She’s about 50, my mom is 45. My grandma gets verbally abused on the daily. Her name is Robin, she lives in Colorado Springs (last i checked), and we’re in Utah. It definitely is hard to contact her due to distance, but we mostly don’t talk to her because of her problems. Not sure if this is even a good idea, but i’d love my Auntie Robin to be the same again.
Thank you so much, Maddie S.
