The only reason to do an INTERVENTION is LOVE!  This is the most important point to keep in mind when you are deciding how to help your loved one who is suffering from alcoholism or other form of addiction.  One of the most common and most powerful symptoms of the Disease of Addiction is denial; an INTERVENTION is designed to break through the denial and have the alcoholic or addict agree to accept treatment whether the individual is “ready” or not. Studies have shown that people who enter treatment because of an intervention are as successful as those who refer themselves to treatment.

Exploding the myth: Every Alcoholic or Addict must hit bottom! Most of us have heard this, and most people think that the alcoholic or addict must lose everything to be ready ”for help.  The purpose of the INTERVENTION is to “stop the bleeding,” or to prevent the individual from losing any more than he or she already has.  The individual doesn't have to lose his or her family, doesn't have to be ruined financially or professionally, doesn't have to be thrown in jail, doesn't have to land in the hospital or, worst, doesn't have to die from his or her disease!

An INTERVENTION benefits everyone, not just the alcoholic or addict.  Everyone involved will be educated about the Disease of Addiction and will learn new ways of coping with the disease and with the afflicted individual.  INTERVENTIONS save the lives of the afflicted and improve the lives of those affected by the afflicted.

The key to a successful INTERVENTION is preparation.  The most difficult part of the INTERVENTION is the decision to do the INTERVENTION; the next most difficult is the preparation and anticipation.  Addiction Intervention Solutions will guide you through the entire Intervention process, from initial consultation to post-intervention, while the individual is in treatment and aftercare.  It is critical to help the individual get the treatment needed; it is just as important to help them stay in treatment and to help them avoid and deal with relapse.

Every INTERVENTION is different and unique.  An INTERVENTION should be tailored to the individual, the participants, and the circumstances.  What should be consistent is the respect for the individual; we are dealing with an individual who is suffering from a disease and who needs treatment for the disease.  Just as a person suffering from a chronic disease such as diabetes, hypertension, or cancer needs help in fighting the disease, the alcoholic or addict needs treatment, and he or she needs and deserves the love and respect without judgment of those participating in the process.
