The key to the intervention that goes without a hitch is planning, planning, planning. The goal is to present reality in a receivable way to the person who is out-of-touch. The ultimate goal is to free that person from chemical addictions. Your loved one’s response to intervention might not be so gracious, however, so it’s important that you arm yourself with facts, bring a loving attitude and plan for several weeks with the help of a professional interventionist before you attempt this.
It can be difficult to understand why a person does not seek out assistance when caught in the steely grips of addiction. Since drugs and alcohol affect nearly every part of the brain, judgment is clouded to the point that the person cannot see reality anymore. Interventions present an objective reality to the individual and a path to recovery. The intervention plan offers a “Do or Die” scenario, with possible consequences that effectively prompts the substance abuser to confront his or her situation.
