An intervention is an orchestrated attempt by family and friends to get a family member, friend, or loved one to seek help for an addiction or other similar problems. When one has tried everything possible to inspire or convince their loved one that they need help, but they will not admit into a program, an addiction intervention program is a successful tool in helping you help your loved one escape from the grips of denial, rationalization and projection.
By approaching them from a place of love and compassion, with help facilitated by a addiction interventionist, you will be helping them understand the problem that they have and that a treatment program is needed. Using a professional interventionist will not only ensure that you have taken the appropriate approach, but will also give you peace of mind knowing that you have expressed your love and concern in a professional, impacting, and very effective manner.
Addiction Intervention Process

In order to effectively perform a substance intervention, an intervention team will be established and then thoroughly prepared with the information required for attaining success. All parties involved will understand the purpose, process and techniques of the intervention.

Hi I’m Dana’s mother in season 13 she was voted the saddest story.
I want to say thank you for the life raft you sent our family. I used my tools, Dana has been doing very well.
She’s living in her own home, has a new family with 3 children. She’s been in parades out here in Eureka Springs she totally took her life back.. during her healing she lost her dad and uncle hardly ever seeing her son and still pushed through and succeeded. She’s actively looking for work.. she would like to share her story in rehabs . She has met the new rehab people in Eureka Springs Arkansas I believe Mr. Spencer is involved with. They couldn’t believe the transformation in Dana. She goes to church now and loves to canoe with her new family. Her boyfriend is a physical fitness trainer has been a top model in California in the fitness industry. His brother was in NFL adores her alot..Dana put her life back together after horrible tragedies that followed the fire and her burying her children. I can honestly say I got my daughter back and she will never go back only forward. I’m very proud of her! She’s been sober for years now. So thank you Intervention TV for saving my family’s life.
If our family can do it, anyone can do it..
