You may be reading this because you have a friend or family member who is under the effects of substance abuse, whether by illegal narcotics, prescription drugs or alcohol. If that is the case, then consider an Intervention in order to bring your concerns to the afflicted and help them to see that they have a problem and need help. Intervention specialists are available everywhere and can help you choose the right method of approaching an addict.

Often, people who are in active addiction do not realize the degree to which they are hurting other people whom they love. Empathy is a powerful tool in getting people to seek out help from addiction. Even if the intervention does not get the person into a treatment center, it could go a long way in making sure that they hear the message that they are valuable and loved. And that’s worth a lot.

There also fellowships like AA, NA and others that hold meetings you can attend. These groups offer 12-Step programs which help the addict identify triggers and get them to accept help from those around them. These groups have proven highly successful in numerous occasions. It can also help to be around others who are going through the same struggles and trials that you are going through. Being around fellow recovering addicts could give perspective into your own life when you were on drugs.

Rehabilitation facilities are ready to help and accept most private insurance agencies. These detox centers will not only help you to get clean, but they will also give you strategies and life skills necessary to STAY clean and resist triggers and become integrated back into society as a productive, healthy member with the ability to contribute.

It’s important to remove yourself from possible triggers, which you can do by travelling for your recovery. That said, consider traveling for treatment in order to capitalize on a new beginning in a place that doesn’t possess the same triggers that could send you back down the road of addiction. Addiction is a daily struggle and people who are going through it need to be both vigilant and able to remove themselves from people and circumstances that perpetuate it.
