It is helpful to have as much information as possible about substance use disorders and the best ways to treat them. And it is also very important to find out about how to help yourself during this process.
- Interventions
People struggling with addiction may find it hard to face the truth and begin treatment. Often they don't see the damage it is doing to themselves and others.
An intervention is a way to help them look directly at these issues. It offers an action plan for treatment with clear steps, goals and guidelines.
Those who do interventions are trained to help families, friends and coworkers take part in a helpful and honest process. This usually involves interviewing family members; documenting evidence of addiction and actions taken; discussing treatment options; planning transportation; and holding group rehearsals to prepare the family for the intervention.
Ascension Recovery Services
Experienced interventionists use research-based strategies to connect individuals with substance addiction to an appropriate solution. The goal is not to coerce the person with addiction to go to treatment; it is to change the family dynamic. Ascension has developed a 10-step approach.
