What is an Intervention?
An intervention is a carefully planned process that may be done by family and friends, in consultation with a doctor or professional such as a licensed alcohol and drug counselor or directed by an intervention professional (interventionist). It sometimes involves a member of your loved one's faith or others who care about the person struggling with addiction.
During the intervention, these people gather together to confront your loved one about the consequences of addiction and ask him or her to accept treatment. The intervention:
-
Provides specific examples of destructive behaviors and their impact on your loved one with the addiction and family and friends
-
Offers a prearranged treatment plan with clear steps, goals and guidelines
-
Spells out what each person will do if your loved one refuses to accept treatment
Who should be involved in the Intervention?
An intervention team usually includes four to six people who are important in the life of your loved one — people he or she loves, likes, respects or depends on. This may include, for example, a best friend, adult relatives or a member of your loved one's faith. Your intervention professional can help you determine appropriate members of your team.
Don't include anyone who:
-
Your loved one dislikes
-
Has an unmanaged mental health issue or substance abuse problem
-
May not be able to limit what he or she says to what you agreed on during the planning meeting
-
Might sabotage the intervention
If you think it's important to have someone involved but worry that it may create a problem during the intervention, consider having that person write a short letter that someone else can read at the intervention.
