Professional Family Interventionists in Waipahu, HI.

Professional family interventionists are trained and experienced in effectively holding family interventions in Waipahu. These interventions are designed to help the addicted loved one to agree to receiving help by attending a professional drug or alcohol rehabilitation program in addition to helping the family and loved ones through the harmful effects and severe stress brought on by 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 greatest chances for success.

Drug interventions are more involved and complex than you might believe. They are considerably more than simply a family meeting or conversation. Professional family interventionists have a number of functions and responsibilities throughout the whole procedure.

Some common functions of a professional family interventionist include:

• Planning and organizing the intervention - Who will attend, when and where it will take place, and layout everyone's role.
• researching which rehab options will best fit the needs of the addicted loved one and the family, respective of the families budget and insurance coverage.
• Planning enrollment and arrival arrangements with the treatment program chosen by the family.
• Planning, educating, counseling, and practicing with the family about exactly what will be done and said during the intervention.
• Getting the addict to arrive at the intervention location.
• Guide, direct, and keep structure and control with the addict as well as the family during the actual intervention.
• Arrange logistics for the addicts arrival to the treatment program.

Even with extensive planning, there are some things to avoid during the actual 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 - as well as anything that the addict might take as accusatory. Instead, speak in neutral terms that do not define the person by their addiction.

b) Overcrowding

Instead of overcrowding the meeting, pick out a select group of close family members and friends.

c) Personal Feelings

Try not to get angry or upset during the drug and alcohol intervention. Try to manage these emotions to ensure that the intervention event is not eventually overrun by the strong emotions involved.

d) Intoxication

If the addict is under the influence - or another member of the group - you should avoid doing the intervention. Rather, wait for them to sober up before doing the intervention.
