How Do I Plan an Intervention?
Holding an intervention may be the best thing you can do for your loved one who is suffering from a substance abuse problem. An addict might not realize that their drug abuse has a negative effect on their family and friends too, not just them. Expressing concerns by using specific examples in a supportive and nonjudgmental gathering may just convince your loved one to enroll into rehab. Sometimes, it takes more than one intervention to get through to your loved one. If they do not respond in a positive manner the first time, do not give up. Some addicts just need to know that people still care about them to get their life back on tracks. An intervention could be the wakeup call your loved needs.
Just know that the only three ways to end an addiction are: to get cleaned up, get locked up or die. Achieving sobriety in rehab, going sober by ways of cold turkey in prison or dying are the only three ways your substance abuse problem will stop haunting you or a loved one.
