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.

What if you are addicted to something way worse than all of these such as self harm then what do you do?
Addiction is not limited to just meds and drinking… SIB is another thing that can be addictive… especially for those who have the chemical release in the brain that can happen when this is done.. Can you reach out to a therapist? or local mental health center?

I am in desperate need of information on an intevention for my husband of 26 years. He is helplessly addicted to alcohol and it is ruining our marriage. Please someone contact me with information.
AA (alcoholics anonymous) can be a great starting place. and they also provide support, and resources, for both the addicted, and the family. Primarily it’s for the addicted, but they also are there for the family whos lives are impacted by their loved ones addiction to alcohol.
I hope my daughter can get help!!!!
This is what my daughter said from her call from jail “Mom please help me, I promise if you get me out I will go to rehab.” My daughter was arrested on 6/12/14. She has been addicted to meth, pills & alcohol since she was 14 and now 25. She has a heart of gold and very beautiful and talented. What 25 year old female can take apart a car and put it back together? She can sew, interior decorate, hair, pet care, etc.
Please help her so she can succeed and pursue her dreams.
She’s got numerous charges for drugs to occupied, I.D. theft to intent to litter fict. bill/note/check and many numerous charges throughout the years. She has been in and out of trouble. Her preliminary hearing is set for end of June. She has a beautiful 6 year old little boy that misses her very much. As grandparents my husband and I have been raising him. He prays every night “Now I lay me down to sleep… He states “please help my mommy get well so she can get a job and be with me.”
My husband and I have been happily married for 35 years. We can’t afford to get her rehab.
I’ve watched your show and want to give it my all to get my daughter the help she needs.
Please help her she is now asking and promising!!!!
