How to Help Someone I Love Who Has a Drug Problem?
If someone you love has a drug problem, the best way to help them is to hold an intervention. An intervention gathers loved ones together in order to communicate the love and care they have for the person while sharing the pain the addiction has caused on all of them.
Generally, the intervention will be administered by an intervention specialist who helps organize it and keep together the flow.
If I Don't Have an Interventionist Should I Hold an Intervention?
If you don't have an interventionist, you should still consider holding an intervention. As long as you make sure that the intervention is non-judgmental and rooted in love and support, it could go a long way in planting a seed or getting the person to seek out help.
The best time to hold an intervention is when the person is sober. However, it might prove hard to accomplish that, so if that can't be achieved, just try and make sure they are sober as possible.
An intervention should be held in a place that's neutral and doesn't trigger. You can save a life through an intervention. Try it!
Also, if your loved one agrees to an intervention, consider having them travel for treatment. It can help them create a new beginning.
