DRUG Intervention
Many people who struggle with drug abuse or addiction are eventually willing to acknowledge the problem and seek treatment. But for those still in denial, intervention may be the right course of action.
Even when an addict is unwilling to see the damage the use of drugs is doing in his or her life-as well as the lives of family, friends and others-studies by the National Institute of Drug Abuse show that forced or coerced participation in treatment can be effective. Employers, colleagues, friends and family can be instrumental in bringing the individual to a moment of clarity, with the assistance of a highly trained crisis intervention specialist.
Although supportive friends can help, the intervention introduces a "neutral" third party to guide the addict through an experience that can be both psychologically overwhelming and emotionally wrenching. While it may sound cruel, or be difficult to watch, it can spare the addict many more years of painful, traumatic and potentially deadly addiction.
A drug intervention involves many logistical considerations that require planning well in advance. If your family member, employee, friend or loved one is in trouble, call one of our trained intervention specialists today. Working with you, we can develop a schedule and plan the time and place where the intervention will occur.
