Professional Addiction Intervention Services

Will intervening make things worse?

NOT taking action will make things worse.
An Intervention means taking action and no longer being helpless.  It means resigning your life to the vicious cycle of insanity

  When should we intervene?

Addiction to drugs and alcohol is a progressive, chronic and fatal disease. Complacency, secrets, arguments, isolation and fear become a normal part of life. The longer you wait, the more everyone suffers.

How do we initiate an intervention?

One phone call to InterventionASAP is all it takes. A call that is the beginning of the end of insanity, confusion and hopelessness. It is a call to action to help stop your loved one’s destructive behavior. Intervention is an act of love, taking immediate steps to start the recovery process, ask the right questions, provide answers and get to the task at hand. Be prepared for open, honest and sometimes blunt questions during the information gathering process. This is a time to be completely transparent and not keep secrets of any kind. 

 
What if they don’t go?

Family dynamics change as a result of intervention. Knowing you have done everything in your power to help the person you care for, allows you to let go of the guilt, shame and doubt. Recovery is a process and intervention is the first step. The struggling person will have clear choices and outcomes.

Do we need an intervention?

All family members are impacted when substance abuse and addiction enters the picture. Take an honest look at what is going on around you. If you could make the changes on your own, you would. Consider the long-term consequences of your loved one’s addiction without minimizing or making excuses. Has the situation gotten progressively worse? Acting on this realization by reaching out for help can change your life, and that of the addict.
