Intervention

How do you help a family member, friend or colleague who has an addiction problem but refuses to admit it or get help?

An intervention is a well orchestrated, well-planned meeting. Interventions are a proven process that has helped thousands of families and friends break the "Barrier of Denial" surrounding a person who is hiding or denying their addiction.

A successful intervention takes place as follows:

  • A small group of family members and or friends join together with the common goal of getting the concerned party into suitable treatment.
  • Hire of a professional interventionist to help facilitate the intervention.
  • The interventionist will then help find a suitable treatment centre for the individual.
  • Plan the place and time to do the intervention.
  • Family members and or friends plan the script of the intervention.
  • All parties meet with the individual to discuss the situation. An outline of the consequences are given to the person should they refuse treatment,
  • The concerned party is taken to a treatment centre immediately upon their agreeing to get help.

It is important to use a skilled professional in these types of situations due to the complexity of interventions. Life Works has experienced and skilled professionals available to help in all types of interventions. Should you need assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.
