Addiction is found even in cities like Cottage Grove, Minnesota. Addiction is a disease and people in active addiction lose their ability to make decisions that could help them quit. Every person develops addiction in their own way. However, people who develop addiction share one thing in common: they need help. Addiction threatens every person around those addicted.

One of the best ways to get someone help who has an addiction problem is by holding an intervention for them. An intervention gathers loved ones together to help the individual realize that their addiction problem is hurting other people.
Often, people in active addiction just think that their addiction is hurting them alone. Learning that is hurts other people can be what makes them decide to get help.
Start a New Life, Travel for Treatment
If your intervention gets the person you love to consider treatment, try and get them to travel for it. Traveling for treatment accomplishes a lot of great things. First, it removes the individual from the harmful environment that sparked their use in the first place.
Even though a person who goes to treatment in their home town is in a facility, when they get out they can go right back to the people and situations that caused them to use in the first place. When someone travels for treatment, they can stay in the place they traveled to and not go back to the place where they are from.
Traveling for treatment also helps people have anonymity. It can prove difficult to have people you know realize you are in treatment. It’s important to have your privacy when going through this sensitive time. Lastly, traveling for treatment helps people start a new life—literally and figuratively.
