Many families are being attacked by the evil forces of drug addiction and alcoholism. In most cases, they do not know where to turn. If they are Christians, their first line of defense would be prayer and fasting. Despite this, it is imperative that they also get professional help from Christian treatment facilities that provide adequate assistance to the individual to get them to recovery. There a lot of family members that see their loved ones going through the addiction process and feel empathy for them and yet these same family members are the ones that provide the monetary funds for the addict to buy the alcohol or drugs. It is no use feeling sorry for someone and yet giving them exactly what they need to continue their bad habit. This is defeating the purpose of recovery. In an intervention process, the interventionist will first try to find who the enabler is and quickly spot the person by asking specific questions such as "Who is the addict closest to?" The person that is closest to the addict is generally the one who will give the person money and then they will go out and buy the drugs or alcohol. The enabler is not necessarily a bad person. This is the person that thinks that they are showing love, but what about tough love? If you know that something is hurting someone, why give more to them? This is the question that the interventionist tries to dig into when the intervention process begins. Many Christian rehabilitation programs have intervention programs. These are important to the harder cases where the addict has tried everything else and it has failed. This is the point of desperation when the family has reached its plateau of providing the resources and help for their loved one. They have reached a point where they want to give up and give in. Trisha's parents were at the edge and the brink of disowning their daughter. They were tired of her drug abuse. They had to rescue her so many times from drug overdose. They had to rescue her two small children from her and from the child protection services. They were burnt out and all the episodes of relapse left them frustrated and beaten. Someone at work told Trisha's mother about the Christian addiction treatment centers and how it had helped her son to completely recover from drugs and gambling. Her son had dual diagnosis, which was much more difficult to treat. She motivated Trisha's mother to take her daughter to get interviewed by one of the counselors. It would do more good than harm. The hardest part for Trisha's mother was finding her daughter. She had to walk the streets of Florida one night asking if anyone had seen her daughter. She showed them a photograph of her daughter that she had taken with her. With her husband reluctantly at her side, she combed the streets. After an hour of searching, she found her daughter under a bridge sleeping. The events that took place on that night and beyond are blurry because today, Trisha is sober and clean.
