Intervention Services
When an individual caught in the downward spiral of addiction is unable or unwilling to acknowledge that they have a problem, an intervention may help them begin the recovery process before they lose even more than they already have. An intervention is a process in which an addict's friends and family work with a professional interventionist to confront the addict with the consequences of their addiction and ask them to begin treatment. Arrangements are typically made beforehand for the addict to begin treatment the day of the intervention if they agree to accept help. While there is no guarantee the addict will agree to this, interventions are frequently successful and may save the addict from the often devastating consequences of continued active addiction.
