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.

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 boyfriend and I have been together for 4 and 1/2 years and he’s addicted to suboxone ever since we’ve been together. He also takes Xanax with it daily and has tried to quit at least 2 times, failing each time. He’s never been diagnosed with anything but I believe he suffers from severe anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder. Our relationship is suffering and so is his health. I worry about him all the time and he scares me to the point where I don’t think I’m safe even living with him. Please help.
