Intervention: What is it?

An intervention is an organized attempt by one or many people, typically family and friends, with the goal of getting someone to seek professional help with an addiction to alcohol or drugs.

If a loved one is demonstrating obvious patterns of substance abuse and that is having a negative impact on his or her family and his or her day-to-day life, then it may be time to consider an intervention.

It is important to consider enlisting a professional when the addicted individual has a history of violence, mental illness, suicidal tendencies, the mood is unpredictable if it is hard to find a time that he or she is not using, and/or if the user is likely to deny treatment or rationalize the situation. Studies have shown that a person is 90% more likely to enter treatment with the help of a professional interventionist.

There are several different styles of Intervention to consider. Your Interventionist will counsel in this aspect in order to determine which will be most beneficial for the family and the loved one.

Types of Interventions – Which one is right for my situation?

Johnson Model

Unknown to the addict, the family gathers and researches treatment options, they lovingly inform the addict that they believe he or she needs help and present with the choice of seeking treatment or withdrawing of family support.

Classic Intervention

Begins with a planning session that includes everyone, excluding the addict, in order to plan and educate all members of the intervention. Family members will learn their parts during the intervention, how to handle the changes and how to take care of themselves.

Invitational Model

The Invitational intervention model is unique in that it involves the addict’s whole family so that he or she does not feel as intimidated as she might by an intervention focused on him or her.

Simple Intervention

This is best used when multiple people in one family are addicted. The addiction, co-dependency, and emotional issues occurring will all be addressed, with the goal of everyone getting the help that they need.

Arise Intervention Model

The Arise intervention model involves the addict from the beginning. Those involved proceed through the systematic steps, stopping the intervention as soon as the addict agrees to enter treatment, and assisting him/her from there.

Crisis Intervention

A single family member facing the addicted person, asking him/her to stop using drugs and alcohol and to begin a comprehensive addiction treatment program.
