Substance Abuse Intervention

If you have tried in vain to persuade your loved one to seek treatment for alcohol or drug abuse, a substance abuse intervention may be your last hope.

A substance abuse intervention is a process that involves the people closest to an individual suffering from addiction. Together, these family members and friends work as a unit to attempt to get the individual to accept help for their disease. It is important for the alcohol or drug intervention environment to be non-judgmental and non-threatening to ensure the individual feels safe to freely discuss their addiction.

Who Conducts the Alcohol or Drug Intervention?

Stepping Stone Center for Recovery's interventionists are substance abuse specialists who will conduct and manage the entire intervention. They will teach family members and concerned friends how to approach the individual with love and compassion. This is important in order to connect to the sufferer's authentic self and cut through the walls of resistance and denial that have been built up over time. An interventionist understands that addiction is a disease with a lifestyle that no one freely chooses or enjoys.

What Happens During a Drug or Alcohol Intervention?

• Each person will talk about how the user's behavior is affecting them and disrupting their lives in letters read one-by-one to the individual.
• Each attendee is strongly urged to create a list of actions that they will no longer tolerate, finance, or participate in if the individual doesn't agree to check into rehab for treatment.
• Once the letters are read, he or she must then decide whether to follow through with entering the rehabilitation center or face the consequences that were stated.

If the individual in need of treatment agrees to go to rehab, the interventionist will arrange transportation and accompany them to Stepping Stone Center for Recovery. After the drug or alcohol intervention, the interventionist will continue to follow up with both the family and the individual throughout the entire treatment process.
