Intervention

Individuals in the midst of active addiction normally engage in a variety of self destructive behaviors. Although baffling to friends and family members such people generally either aren't aware on a conscious level that they have an addiction problem (being chemically dependant), or even when they know they have a problem they may cling to the false belief that the problem will somehow go away without any out side help. This is denial.

When alcohol and drug dependency (as well as untreated or mistreated mental illness) adversely affect an individuals life they generally attempt to hide their problem and deny that they need help.  Left to their own devices such people continue to spiral downward and face more and more serious consequences from their addictive behavior.

There is an old saying that you cannot help an alcoholic or drug addict until they want help. That statement is really not true. An intervention can help someone who for all intents and purposes does not want help.  An intervention can stop a person from continuing to engage in behaviors which will take them lower and lower. 

Intervention generally involves a process in which a skilled professional facilitator, working together with a group of family, friends, employer and/ or co workers (or other people who may know the person who needs help and have had an opportunity to observe that persons behavior) confront the person in need of help for the purpose of breaking down that persons denial and motivating them to immediately seek treatment.
