Occasionally, we have the addict individual calling in to get admitted to the rehab facility, but of course addicts will usually not seek help, because they do not understand the scope of their addiction and they cannot stop the addictive cycle. Most of the admissions to our drug and alcohol rehab facility are intervention based. Meaning that, a family and/or friend concerned with the well being of their loved one has contact us and arranged a meeting (intervention) with the addict. Family and friends are usually not ready to confront their loved one with an effective solution to the problem. A professional interventionist has the experience necessary to help you confront your loved one with the facts and offer a solution to the problem and the consequences they will have to face if he/she does not accept the help being offered. The intervention specialist will educate everyone involved about enabling, tough love, addiction, drug rehab programs, and most important getting the family strong enough to sit down and with so much intention and love, get the addicted individual to finally accept help.
Of course we are talking about a person who has been lying, cheating and possibly even stealing so family and friends must be prepared. Interventions are not smooth but they are usually successful in getting the addict to treatment. Ninety percent of the individuals struggling with alcohol or drugs will accept the help and chooses to go into a residential drug rehab. Watching the family and friends concerned and in pain and confronted with consequences, that were sometimes never presented to them, is usually the turning point in accepting help.
An interventionist will explain and comfort your loved one and family in regards to what is to come. One of the most common reasons an addict is scared of getting help is the fact that they will experience physical withdraw from drugs like heroin, prescription drugs like painkillers, and alcohol. Rest assured that your loved one will get the addiction treatment necessary, from medical detox to ease the extreme pain and discomfort through enrollment into the drug and alcohol treatment facility.
Realize that overcoming an addiction to drugs or alcohol is not an easy task. If it was our country would not have over 22 million addicted individuals. There are only three things that will happen to an individual who is addicted to drugs and alcohol. They will die, go to jail, or go to rehab and get help. The last is the best option for anyone.
You do not have to deal with the addict’s problem alone. Recovery is possible. Others have done it. You or your loved one can do it too.
Family and Friends of Addicts Please Remember—you can’t make an individual deal with an addiction problem. But you can offer support and arrange an intervention for addiction treatment.
