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

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.

Hi my name is Christina and I am writing in hopes that someone can help my family before it is to late.I have a brother who think about nothing but a way to get high.. He makes life hard for my mom and for my family.My mom worry so much that I can not believe that she is still here with us. But the drug have such a hold on my brother that he just do not care. We had a hard life growing up that he might use the drugs to help him not think about the past. I can not trust him to even let him stay at my house. He will take things that don’t belong to him for his drugs. We just worry that if we don’t get him some help soon that he will not be here with us much longer. Jail is not somewhere we want him to go back to, he could get drugs in jail just like on the street.I talked to him today and he was sick because he didn’t have the drugs to get high…so sad!!!!!!!!! He is a father of three and he can not even do good at that.PLEASE IF YOU CAN HELP CALL ME ASAP 910-258-4425…THANKS and have a wonderful day. PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE HELP MY FAMILY

I am writing to you in hopes of getting some help for my son. He is a heroin addict and also addicted to any other drug that he can get, not to mention alcohol too. I love my son very much and this has been going on for alot of years. He has a 9 yr old son who doesnt even know his father at all, he needs his dad as well as I need my son. He scares me because I know he will do anything to get high, he sleeps in the woods or where ever he can find to lay down. Please help him.
