Drug and Alcohol Intervention
What is Drug and Alcohol Intervention?
A Drug Intervention is a process during which a professional interventionist works with a family and friends to gently confront an addicted individual with their drug use and behaviors, in an attempt, to make it clear they will no longer enable the addiction and help them accept treatment. The best interventions are managed by a credentialed professional with a background in strong intervention practices. A trained individual understands the powerful psychological elements of denial by the addict and those effected by the addict’s addiction and for educational purposes, will assist in the disruption of the family system where needed to fuel the “whole family” healing process.
When do you seek intervention help or advice?
Frequently, the family or friends of a drug addict or alcoholic will know when it’s time to seek professional assistance or advice in helping their loved one decide to enter a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. When family or friends don’t know when the time is right, calling an interventionist professional is the key. The time to take action will be identified by the drug addict or alcoholic’s behavior or lifestyle becoming unmanageable or affecting those around him/her in a negative manner. Typically, if any drug addict or alcoholic is abusing substances or illegal drugs, especially Opioid drugs, getting rehab immediately can save their life, but how does a family go about doing an intervention to offer their loved one the gift of recovery?
Can an Interventionist Professional help overcome denial?
With years of experience as a certified intervention professional, Holly Conklin understands that it can be difficult or potentially impossible for a family to intervene on their own. In cases where there is no potential leverage, an addict who faces legal or other consequences or has been unwilling to agree to treatment may run or get irrationally angry with family members an outside intervention professional can help. Sometimes the family history and dynamics of the relationships can make it impossible for a family to get through to a loved one, so reaching out for professional drug intervention support could be the difference between the addict choosing to get help, or continuing with their negative and dangerous addictive behaviors. Holly Conklin and the team at Angel Intervention are the most successful drug intervention service based in Ohio and have assisted hundreds of families in developing a solid plan to intervene and get their loved one safely into a drug/alcohol rehab to begin their recovery.
