Professional Family Interventionists in Harmon, IL.

Professional family interventionists are trained and experienced in effectively holding family interventions in Harmon. These interventions are designed to help get the addict to agree to receiving help by going to a professional addiction rehabilitation program as well as help the family members and loved ones of the addict through the harmful effects and severe hardships as a result of the addiction.

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

Addiction interventions are more elaborate and complex than you might first think. They are considerably more than simply a family conversation or meeting. Professional family interventionists have a number of functions and responsibilities throughout the entire procedure.

Some common functions of a professional family interventionist include:

• Organizing and planning the intervention - Who will attend, when and where it will take place, and determine everyone's role.
• Figuring out what treatment programs will best fit the needs of the addict and the family, respective of the families insurance coverage and budget.
• Preparing arrival and enrollment arrangements with the treatment center that the family has selected.
• Planning, counseling, educating, and rehearsing with the family about exactly what will be said and done throughout the intervention.
• Getting the addict to arrive at the intervention location.
• Direct, guide and maintain control and structure with the addict as well as the family while the intervention is taking place.
• Arrange logistics for the addicts arrival to the rehab center.

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

Don'ts at an Intervention

a) Labels

Avoid labels like addict, junkie, or drunk - as well as anything that the addict may think is accusatory. Rather, go for neutral terms that do not define the person by their substance abuse problem.

b) Overcrowding

Rather than overcrowding the meeting, pick out a select group of close family members and loved ones.

c) Personal Feelings

Try not to get angry or upset during the intervention. You can think of ways to manage these feelings to ensure that the event is not overtaken by the strong emotions involved.

d) Intoxication

If the addict is intoxicated - or another member of the group - you should avoid doing the drug and alcohol intervention. Instead, wait for them to sober up before doing the intervention.
