The best way to approach Substance Abuse Intervention involves following a series of steps to ensure the addict is completely taken care of during the entire process. Following the steps is the best way to approach substance abuse intervention because it will make sure the rehabilitation center, the friends and family intervening, and the addict are all prepared for everything that happens when committing to rehabilitation for any sort of addiction.
Contact a Substance Abuse Center. Before any stage of intervention occurs, someone needs to contact a rehabilitation center to get information on the programs and treatments available as well as enrollment requirements. It is best to research several different facilities so you are sure the one you choose will suit the needs of the addict.
Three main things to consider are the facilities track record, the cost, and the location of the facility in relation to the addicts ability to leave and find his or her enablers. Consider treatment options. After finding a facility, consider the treatment options available. These options will be presented to you based on your specific needs.
Create a plan of action. Someone from the facility will be able to assist you in carefully planning the substance abusive intervention so as to ensure it is done in a safe, healthy, manner. It is important not to attack or ambush the addict in question and to remember this is being done out of love, respect and kindness.
Pre-Intervention Meeting. You'll meet with someone from the rehabilitation center and all the others who plan on playing a part in the intervention. This person will discuss how to handle the intervention, and how each person should play a role in it. You'll learn about addiction and how substance abuse can harm the addict and the people around them.
Intervention. This is where the plan of action and everything discussed in the pre-intervention meeting will take place. Friends and loved ones will come face-to-face with the addict to let them know the issues and why they believe rehab is best for them. What happens here will greatly impact whether or not a person is willing to go into the program.
After the Initial Family Drug Intervention, treatment will begin. Addiction is a life long battle and is never "cured." The family and friends of substance abuse addicts will have to work hard to ensure the addict does not feel attacked, pressured, or punished when the substance abuse intervention takes place.
Enlisting a professional to assist with the Intervention Meeting and with the Drug and Alcohol Addiction will ensure the tone and discussion of the intervention is appropriate to avoid these feelings on the part of the addict. The most important thing to remember is to be supportive, because the Drug Abusers brain chemistry has been altered. Though he is responsible for his actions, he wouldn't act that way without the addiction.
