If you love
someone who is suffering from an alcohol or drug problem,
you now have a reason to be hopeful. There is a gentle,
dignified and organized way to help your loved one gain
insight into the need for seeking help.
Intervention is a loving, gracious, respectful, firm
and honest act of love which provides a lifeline for
alcoholics and drug addicts to seek the help they need.
Family members, caring friends and sometimes co-workers
come together in a loving united front to voice their
love and concern in a well-planned manner. The goal
is to support, encourage, inspire and direct the addicted
person to seek treatment immediately. Having a professional
interventionist present will facilitate the process,
which includes dealing with troublesome emotions while
making difficult decisions with family or friends. There
is hope for your loved one with a family counselor in
the highly specialized field of intervention.
