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.

Please help my mother and my brother. My mother is a crack addict and my brother is a meth and who knows what else addict. My brother hasn’t even been a addict for a year but my mother has been a addict for I know 16 years. I just want my mother and my brother back. My brother is 18 and my mom is 38. I’m now 20 with her first grandson/grandchild. I just hate having to watch her do this type of stuff. I feel like me finding my child unresponsive at 3 months old and her helping me reviving him is what made her relapse and for some reason I feel like I’m the reason she’s back on drugs. The deal with my brother I have no idea what his deal is. And I hate watching this type of stuff. Please help my brother and my mom!!!!

My oldest son Sean Who is now 34 years old has been addicted to various drugs since he was 17 years old. He has two daughters that my husband and I have adopted and have been raising since they were babies. They only lived with him and his girlfriend for a very short period of time. We allowed them to stay in our home for about a year and a half hoping that they would get their lives together but after seeing that that was not going to happen we told them they had to leave. DFACS became Involved which is why we have our grandchildren now as they never did what they were supposed to do to get them back. My youngest son David lived through this turmoil and as much as he hated And resented it …he became an addict himself. He is homeless and has been for quite some time. We made him leave our home after he attacked my husband a year and a half ago. He is 26. We are in desperate need of help for these two men boys. F
My mother has been on crack for over twenty plus years. She is 48 now and resorts to prostitution to afford her addiction. My family and myself have persuaded her a number of times to go to rehab and each time she has signed herself out. She lost custody of us when we were younger due to her addiction. My grandmother raised myself and my siblings were raised by their fathers. My mother use to hold a job but now she doesn’t. The lowest point was when she came down from her high, she felt suicidal and was admitted into a psych unit. My mother knows she has a problem but it seems like she is comfortable being labeled as the family crack head. We love her and want the best for her. Worrying about her when she disappears without a call or etc is very stressful for the family. We love her and just want to see her get her life together before it is too late. We need your help, please. Our family is in need pf an intervention.
My mom has been an addict ever since I was born. I truly don’t think my mom was a sober mom ever , at any point in time of my 17 years and don’t think she ever will become sober unless it’s taken to the most serious term it can be . which I believe is this . I don’t want to lose my mother period but I lost her as a mom so long ago.
