Professional Family Interventionists in Yerkes, KY.

Professional family interventionists are trained and experienced in successfully hosting family interventions in Yerkes. These interventions are designed to help the addicted loved one to agree to receiving help by enrolling into a professional drug or alcohol rehabilitation program as well as help the family members and loved ones through the negative effects and severe hardships as a result of the substance use disorder.

The objective of the family interventionist is to organize, plan, direct, and oversee the intervention in such a way that the event is structured and controlled and has the best chances for success.

Drug interventions are more involved and complex than you might initially think. They are far more than merely a family conversation or meeting. Professional family interventionists have a number of functions and responsibilities throughout the whole process.

Some common functions of a professional family interventionist include:

• Organizing and planning the intervention - Who will be there, where and when it will take place, and layout everyone's role.
• Advising which rehab centers will be most suitable and effective for the addict and the family, taking into consideration the families insurance coverage and budget.
• Preparing enrollment and arrival arrangements with the treatment program that the family has selected.
• Planning, educating, counseling, and rehearsing with the family about exactly what will be done and said during the intervention.
• Arranging for the addict to arrive at the intervention location.
• Direct, guide and keep control and structure with the family as well as the addict during the actual intervention.
• Arrange transportation and timing for the addicts arrival to rehab.

Even with extensive planning, there are some things to avoid throughout the intervention. These may include, but are not limited to the following:

Don'ts at an Intervention

a) Labels

Avoid labels like addict, junkie, or drunk - or anything that the addict might think is accusatory. Instead, go for neutral terms that do not label the patient by their substance abuse problem.

b) Overcrowding

Rather than overcrowding the intervention with many people, choose a select group of close family members and loved ones.

c) Personal Feelings

Try not to get angry or upset during the drug and alcohol intervention. Try to manage these feelings to ensure that the intervention event is not overtaken by harmful emotions.

d) Intoxication

If the addict is under the influence - or another member of the group - you should not host the drug and alcohol intervention. Rather, wait for them to sober up before intervening.
