INTERVENTION
is an effective way of
helping a person suffering with addiction
to move forward and accept help. This can
be for a range of addictive behaviours
such as drugs, alcohol, sex and love
addiction, codependency, prescribed
medication, self harm, ocd, gambling and
eating
disorders.
Alcoholism, drug addictions and
eating disorders are progressive, chronic,
treatable diseases that, if left untreated,
could result in the premature death of someone
you love. However help is at hand. No one has
to hit their absolute bottom before accepting
help…..Intervention can bring that rock bottom
up to meet the suffering individual so that
they may benefit from Treatment now.
Intervention Services are highly effective in
getting the Addict or Alcoholic the help they
need before its too late.
If someone you know is struggling with the
disease of addiction, it is time to take
action. You can wait for them to get ready to
do something, but you are likely to wait for a
very long time.
Intervention services are the best way to make
help available to those struggling with an
addiction. 92% of those who go through an
intervention, go to treatment and have the
opportunity to change their lives.
If your current situation has you concerned
enough that you are exploring all possibilities
then it is time to act. It is likely that you
have been waiting for quite a time already. You
have been waiting for the many promises to come
true. "I promise, I'll quit tomorrow."
If you are concerned
about someone you love, nothing can be gained
by waiting. Crisis come and crisis go, and the
Alcoholic is protected from the emotional
consequences of his illness because he is
anesthetized. The other consequences we as
family, friends, co-workers and employers
protect the addict from by not confronting the
situation in an organised, planned and cohesive
way.
If you not willing to act to help now, then ask
yourself: How much worse will it have to get
before I am willing to act? How will I feel if
I am in the same situation only worse in
another 6 months or a year.
Interventions break one of the big rules in
alcoholism and addiction - "we don't confront
the situation head on by talking about the
problem openly and exploring realistic and
meaningful solutions". So it is understandable
that your anxiety levels will increase when
thinking about confrontation. You might wonder:
"Will doing an intervention make matters
worse"?
No, the opposite is true; doing nothing will
make matters worse. Carrying out an
intervention will bring matters to a head
(crisis). It is this crisis that brings with it
the possibility of something new and positive
taking place.
Please remember that
Interventions are complex proceedures and
should not be carried out without the help,
guidance and presence of an Intervention
Specialist.
