INTERVENTION 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. More on Intervention
