Drug Rehab Interventions

Drug intervention has been more popularized lately with a cable TV show, but the processes have been around for a long time. There are actually many different forms of intervention that can be used to get a loved one into a drug rehab center. The false idea that an addict has to hit rock bottom or that you can't help someone who doesn't want help is potentially very harmful. The wrong thing to do is nothing.

Now, we're not saying that you force someone to go against their will, as in being committed to some mental hospital. While there may be a time and a place for such a thing it is typically the very last resort. The word intervene means to come between something to prevent or change the outcome. In this case you are coming between the addict and eventual disaster or death - you are trying to save his or her life!

When someone seems hopelessly addicted to drugs then they have lost the ability to reason and the only thing that makes them feel better happens to be the very thing that is killing them. This is a downward spiral of destruction and it is necessary for some outside person or force to prevent this from happening, using whatever means necessary, starting with something light or gentle and increasing from there as needed.

Types of Interventions

Intervention can come in many forms. Often times it comes in the form of law enforcement. Addicts inevitably do things that are against the law and when they get arrested either this can serve as enough of a wake-up call that they want to change their life or a judge or court system can order them to go to treatment instead of jail.

The most common form of intervention is a family intervention. This is where one or more family members try and talk the addict into getting help. In most cases the first reaction is for the addict to refuse help, so then it comes time to use leverage to get them to agree to go. This can include not allowing them to live in the house, use the car, have any money or possibly see their children. It's not used as threat or punishment, but for the safety of all the greater number of people and so the addict knows he or she is making the choice to continue using drugs instead of having those things.

Due to the emotions involved with family situations, an intervention specialist may be a good idea. This is a professional who is very skilled at convincing addicted individuals to go to a rehab center. They have no emotional attachment and can almost act as a mediator between the family and the addict. Roughly 85% of professional interventions end up successfully with the person agreeing to enter into a rehabilitation program.

Of course, the intervention is only the beginning, and for the entire process to be successful it is necessary to have the right rehab center ready for the person to go to. We can help you find successful treatment centers that are going to give your loved one the best chance for permanent recovery from addiction and often recommend non-12 step rehab programs.
