Addiction or mental health conditions thrive in chaos and confusion. The identified loved one may have created unhealthy dynamics in their relationships through lying, manipulation, avoidance, and secrecy. This strains relationships and makes talking to them about their problem difficult. If this sort of thing is going on, it can be hard to imagine having…
Trying to find the right treatment center for substance abuse on your own, based solely on information found online, can result in “misplacement,” where your loved one ends up in an addiction recovery center that isn’t appropriate for them. The right fit is crucial and plays a huge role in determining the success of your…

It may be an addiction intervention; it may be a drinking, alcohol, or substance use intervention; it may be a drug intervention, another kind of crisis intervention. We do this mainly through communication. It’s about communicating your fears, the things you have seen and experienced, your hope, and a direct ask for them to accept…
Most people see an intervention as a process that mainly involves conflict or confrontation. They worry that if they confront their loved one, their worst fears might come true.

To many families, the thought of an intervention is terrifying.
