Things To Know When Organizing A Drug Addiction Intervention
If this is your first drug addiction intervention there are some things you should know. For starters the addict may not show. The minute an addict hears the words intervention they will run. Therefore, it may be a good idea to keep the specifics of the meeting on the down low. Tell the addict you are having a get together. Friends and family who have voiced concerns to you in the past about the addict’s behavior may not participate when push comes to show. You should be prepared for some resistance.

An Alcohol Intervention May Bring Out The Ugly Side Of The Addict
How many times have you said to your friend who drinks too much, “Hey, you may want to take it easy?” Chances a few times and usually he or she probably came up with a really good excuse. They may have even said you’re right and then the next time you see them they’re up to their old tricks. If you schedule an alcohol intervention the addict may get defensive in a way you’ve never seen before. Even if they know they have a problem they’ll probably still feel ambushed.

A Sober Companion Doesn’t Have To Be Your Best Friend
You have a best friend. That best friend may still drink and even dab in the occasional drug use. That doesn’t mean you don’t still like them and want to hang out with them. You may even have a best friend who is a social drinker and doesn’t have a problem but they may not be able to fully understand your problem which is why you may need a sober companion from time to time, someone who can accompany you to an event or party who understands exactly what you are going through.
