Drug and Alcohol Intervention
There are many common misconceptions about an intervention
and its goals. Most people think that an intervention is about
getting someone to go to treatment or rehab. In actuality,
that is the result of a properly delivered intervention, but
not the true goal itself. Getting someone to go to treatment
isn't necessarily a difficult thing to do. We are partnered
with the leading
drug and alcohol intervention provider in the nation and
they average 6-10 successful interventions per week. Again,
getting someone into treatment isn't necessarily a difficult
thing to do. But if the addict isn't properly handled through
the guidance of a qualified intervention specialist, if the
family isn't empowered enough, then many times you will find
yourself with a loved one checking himself out of rehab within
days of arrival. The goal of any intervention should be much
more than temporarily convincing them to go. If a family wants
to achieve a long-term solution then they must achieve several
goals in addition to just getting them to go to treatment.
Outlined below is a summary of these goals:
The 7 Goals of a Successful Drug or Alcohol Intervention
- Empower the family through education on addiction and enabling.
- Remove any enabling factors that are contributing or allowing the addiction to continue.
- Set healthy boundaries within the family so that they are no longer negatively affected by the drug or alcohol use of the alcoholic or addict.
- Create a solid team within the family that works together instead of independently.
- Change the dynamics within the family to more effectively handle the addiction and increase the willingness of the alcoholic or addict.
- Formulate and implement a long-term recovery plan in order to increase the chances of permanent abstinence and then adhere to the plan as a family.
- Learn effective tools to not only get their loved one to treatment, but to help keep them there and focus on recovery after he returns home.
Getting someone to want to stay in treatment, increasing their willingness
to apply the fundamentals of recovery, changing
the family dynamics, having them commit to completing
the entire treatment program and the apply the principles
of recovery after they return home should be the true goals
and are considerably more important than just "getting
them there" with bags in hand.
Be very wary of the "weekend warrior" interventionist.
This is someone who comes out with the intention of only creating
a plan to "talk your loved one into treatment".
It takes much more than a sobriety date, a certification and
good intentions to make an effective interventionist.

Consider an Intervention |
|
Statistics show better outcomes when a family chooses to use a professional interventionist. An intervention happens before the addict enters the facility.
