What Happens In Drug and Alcohol Interventions - South San Francisco, CA.

As you search for answers to the "what happens in interventions?" question, keep in mind that this is a gathering where a group of people work together to confront an addict.

The group members will also try to persuade the addicted individual to obtain help and rehabilitation from a rehab facility or from a substance abuse professional in South San Francisco so they are able to work through and overcome their substance abuse problem.

The intervention should include close family members, loved ones, and friends of the addict. Although, you may also want to include close coworkers or colleagues if you believe that their presence and involvement will prove helpful with the outcome of the drug and alcohol intervention in South San Francisco.

The intervention details should already be planned out and arranged before the addict arrives. This is because it is very important that you are as ready and prepared as possible.

The intervention group members, therefore, should plan a meeting ahead of time and discuss how the intervention will take place, what each person will say, what might happen, and more. Similarly, most interventions have a professional or a leader chosen by the rest of the team to help organize the encounter, help confront the addict, and help lead the intervention.

When they meet initially, the team members will have a chance to talk about what they know about the loved one's drug use and addiction and they will write up letters and guidelines. This way, the addict may be able to understand how their addictive behaviors have affected the people around them.

The intervention group members will then try to confront the addicted individual when they least expect it. We do this because otherwise in many situations, the addict may avoid the engagement and as a result all the group members efforts are lost and the loved ones will not be granted their opportunity to reason with the addict.

Usually this means tricking the addict. It is commonly most effective to ask the addict to show up at a prepared location with some sort of enticing reason that will undoubtedly influence the addict to arrive. The incentive and reasoning will be different for each intervention so you will have to figure out the most appropriate way to get the addict to the intervention location, pertaining to the group's and the addict's specific situation. The group members will be waiting at the predetermined location, ready to perform the intervention when he arrives. Trying to show up unannounced at the person's personal place of residence is not usually advised. This is often too violating, causing the addict to become exceedingly defensive, antagonistic, and aggressive, diminishing the chances for an effective and successful result.

Once the addict and the intervention group members are together, each member will get a chance read their letter. The idea here is to get the addict to understand that they love him and want to help him, but that they will not enable him or help him in any manner that doesn't have to do with getting professional addiction help. Keep in mind, the ultimate outcome of a successful intervention is to get the addict started in an effective substance abuse rehabilitation center.
