The village of Mundelein has a population of around 31, 064 people and was named after Archbishop George Mundelein of Chicago, who purchased the property in 1918.
He subsequently built a seminary called Lake Seminary, which is one of the biggest seminaries in the United States (hosting up to 1,000 students).
However, even in a village with such a devout past, there are still demons that haunt people within its ranks. One strong presence of evil that impacts the city is addiction.
Addiction doesn't have a face or a name. It is a disease that implicates so many different types of people and shows up in many different towns.

How Do I Hold an Intervention?
Holding an intervention can prove the difference between keeping someone in addiction and getting them the life saving help they need. In order to hold an intervention, the best thing to first do is make sure that you create an environment that fosters love and zero judgement.
If you attack the loved one, you will most likely make them go deeper into shame. Addiction feeds on shame and self-loathing, so try and avoid triggering those feelings. That said, you want to make sure that you are assertive and communicate to them the hurt and pain they have caused you.
Another way to help the intervention process is to hire an intervention specialist. These specialists help make sure the intervention goes according to plan and people reel in their emotions and don't get into attack mode.
Interventions are worth it. Helping people, especially you love, won't go super easily, but it's worth it.
Will Traveling for Treatment Help?
Yes. Traveling for treatment can go a long way in making sure that you can start a new life in a place where people don't know who you are and your past doesn't haunt you.
Traveling also removes you from the situations that propelled you to use in the first place.
