There are two schools of thought concerning when is the correct time to intervene with a person that is addicted. Many are advocates of the idea that an addict/alcoholic must first hit "bottom". Unfortunately the bottom for most addicts often includes devastating legal consequences or physical harm resulting from their drug use or drinking.
We believe it is important to intervene as soon as it is apparent that a loved one has a problem with drugs or alcohol. The majority of interventions done by experienced drug and alcohol interventionists are successful.
Why wait for a catastrophic event like an overdose, arrest for drunken driving or felony conviction for possession to occur? The odds are extremely high that they will.
Our experience is that no one who is addicted to drugs or alcohol is enjoying their lives, they are truly unhappy and ashamed. When approached in the correct manner by a trained intervention specialist most are relieved to find that there is a way out.
Our interventionist are all former addicts/alcoholics with many years of sobriety. They are also Certified Addiction Counselors. They know and understand what the addicted person is feeling and thinking, having been in the same situation at one time in their lives.
