Alcoholism Intervention and Drug Addiction
Intervention Info, Tips and Advice

What is an Alcoholism Intervention or Drug Addiction Intervention?

Firstly, there is no difference between doing an intervention for a drug addict or alcoholic.

The principles of an intervention remain the same, irrespective of the substance involved - so think substance abuse intervention in general - rather than specifics related to a particular substance.

Coming back to a drug/alcohol intervention ... the key points to remember is that an Intervention is a planned, orchestrated and organised confrontation. It's not something you can do off the cuff. It requires careful thought, planning and organisation because you only get one shot at it. It won't work a 2nd time because the power lies in the surprise and strength of the initial confrontation.

Now I know that the word confrontation sounds intimidating, but it isn't really once you understand what is meant by the term in this context.

Chapter 7 of my book, 'Addiction Uncovered,' deals with this topic extensively, so if you haven't already download the book so you can read all about it.

So I'm not going to repeat what I've written in the book, but I just want to re-emphasize how powerful doing an Intervention properly is. So make sure you put in the necessary preparation to ensure you get results.

My sister and I, performed an intervention on my Mother, which led to her agreeing to the treatment we insisted she get. And she's been sober since ... going on 4 years now. So I can definitely say first hand, this is something that works.

Make sure you download my book (it's free remember) - and you'll discover all there is to know about what an Intervention is and how to perform one successfully.
