How Do I Host an Intervention?
An intervention is a gathering of friends and loved ones to help confront them about their addiction. A lot of times people who abuse drugs do not understand the extent to which their addiction hurts other people.
The point of the intervention is not to attack the substance abuser. That can send someone deeper into the thralls of addiction as they suffer from the shame at the hands of their loved ones.
Hiring a professional interventionist is a great way to help make the intervention go smoother. A professional interventionist is trained in conflict management and can help mitigate any tension or arguments that happen during the event. The goal of an intervention is to get someone into treatment. Now, even if the loved one does not decide to get treatment, the intervention has not failed. Getting your loved one to understand the ramifications of their illness, it can go a long way in helping the substance abuser get back on the right track.
Healing takes awhile. People may not right away jump on the idea of getting help, but every effort counts. Even the ones that seem to go unnoticed.
Find a meeting and keep on the right road to staying clean. There are many things that happen in everyday life that can and will temp you to use again, going to meetings can keep you focused on what is really important. Addiction does not happen in a silo, neither does recovery. People need others to overcome. Find a meeting now!
