Alcohol and Drug Intervention Process
March 27, 2008
Drug interventions are not easy. But they are easier than jail visits and much easier than funerals. There are several good reasons to have an drug intervention. But those are two of the best. Do you want to look back and think, “I could have helped”, while they are sitting in jail or lying in the ground. Drugs will eventually ruin the life of the addict and can even end the addicts life. Don’t wait until then to talk about it. You can conduct an drug intervention with the assistance of a professional, or you can handle it on your own. If you decide those close to the addict would best handle it, make sure to get a professional’s advice. Here is a basic guideline to get you started.
Prior to the Drug Intervention
The impact of the drug intervention comes from the people involved. Maker sure the addict will value the opinion of those that are chosen as part of the intervention group. It is important that the addict is confronted, without being attacked. Many of these people will have personal points to make with the addict. Hold several meetings in advance to discuss who will cover what topics with the addict. Everyone involved needs to know the goals of the intervention, as well as what part they will play individually. In the days just prior to the actual intervention a final meeting should be held. Use this time as a practice session for the actual intervention.
Day of the Drug Intervention
On the day of the drug intervention everyone should have an opportunity to discuss their feelings and concerns. This of course includes the members of the drug intervention group, but it also includes the addict. Listen to the addict, an honest discussion at this point can make the road to recovery that much smoother.
