A marijuana intervention requires a well-planned group effort to be successful. For someone addicted to marijuana to make the decision to enter treatment, they must first be reminded of their life before marijuana as well as the potential for an equally happy life in the future without it. When an intervention is set up by family and friends and guided by an intervention professional, it is often the most effective way of persuading the individual to enter treatment. Trying to persuade them alone is often a futile endeavor.

What is a marijuana intervention? A marijuana intervention is an orchestrated attempt by one, or often many people, (usually family and friends in conjunction with an intervention expert) to persuade an individual to seek professional help with their marijuana addiction. The sole purpose of eDrug Rehab is to help addicts and their families overcome addiction through the process of intervention, treatment, and recovery. The ultimate goal of a marijuana intervention is to empower the addict to escape from their seemingly hopeless addiction. It is our mission to aid in the loving rehabilitation of the addict as well as to find ways to heal the relationships between family and friends that have been damaged as a result of the addiction.

The staff at eDrug Rehab understands that marijuana addiction is a very troubling experience for everyone involved. It is not easy to passively observe someone you love make decisions that are clearly following a path of self-destruction. We encourage you to call now. Over the years, eDrug Rehab has developed a unique marijuana intervention process that has proven to be life-saving.

What is the marijuana intervention process? Our marijuana intervention process follows 6 steps:

• Call. If you do not initiate the process, your loved one may never get the help that they need, and that fear will continue to be present in your life.

• Consult. After listening to and assessing your situation, we will be able to recommend the next best step. Because each individual is different, we will need to tailor our approach to best reach your loved one.

• Enlist Others. This step is crucial. Those who will be involved in the actual intervention process should be chosen wisely. Consider the individual’s history. Who has your loved one been the closest to over the years? Who has he/she felt the most secure with? Who would this person turn to for help with other types of problems? Parents, siblings, spouses, significant others, friends, even children can all be part of the process. Everyone involved must love and respect the person, and have their best interest at heart.

• Plan. One of our drug intervention experts will arrange a meeting with you to discuss arrangements for a treatment center, potential dates for the marijuana intervention to take place, and other logistical concerns.

• Act. On the day before the intervention is scheduled, one of our drug intervention experts will meet with you to prepare you for the intervention. All of those who have chosen to participate will have an opportunity to rehearse what they would like to say. The interventionist will coach you on what to do – and what not to do – in a variety of different scenarios that could potentially unfold.

• Heal. Once your loved one makes the decision to accept the help that they are being offered, they will be transported to the treatment center. Now the recovery process can begin – for everyone. We will mentor you through the process, and be available for questions whenever they arise. We realize that the rate of recovery depends on the individual, and we will not simply disappear when your loved one is discharged. Our support continues throughout the entire process, however long that may be for your situation.
