Alcohol and Drug Interventions

A drug and alcohol intervention can feel like a mysterious and threatening process to the uninitiated. How to set one up, how to make it successful, how to know when the time is right and if it's even appropriate-all these questions can be a lot to take on, especially if you're already dealing with a loved one who is addicted to drugs or alcohol.

At The Canyon, we can answer all your intervention questions and help you structure one for your loved one. We can also provide a professional interventionist if you would like to hand the reigns over to a professional. Whatever you need: just let us know.

An Intervention: Learn the Basics

In its briefest terms, an intervention is the process of confronting a friend or loved one whose struggle with drug and alcohol addiction has reached a critical point. It begins with those who are close to the alcoholic or addict coming together and creating a plan for the intervention. At least one meeting should take place ahead of time to determine where and when the intervention should take place as well as who should speak first, who should follow, et cetera. If a professional interventionist from The Canyon will be included in the process, he or she should be at this initial meeting as well to help solidify the plan and direct the meeting.

During the actual intervention, each person involved should have a chance to speak to the addict, voicing his or her concerns and relating a specific example in which the person's addictive behavior hurt them. After each person has a chance to take part, an ultimatum is given to the addict: go into treatment at The Canyon right now or... The alternative to treatment may be a spouse leaving, an eviction from their home, losing their job. This depends upon the situation, who has initiated the intervention and what is at stake for those involved in the intervention.

The Objective of an Intervention

When a friend or loved one is immersed in addiction, it is difficult to speak to them reasonably. Even if they listen without arguing, chances are that they haven't "heard you" in the truest sense. You can only hear the words "I'm sorry" and "I won't do it again" so many times before you come to a crisis point in your relationship. If you love your friend or family member, you want what's best for them and you know, even if they don't, that they are headed down a path that will only hurt them and hurt everyone around them, including you, in the process. The objective of an intervention is to prevent them from hurting themselves anymore than they already have and to save your relationship while there's still a relationship left to save.

Intervention Supported by The Canyon

It's not always clear when drug abuse requires treatment. Medically, it is not necessarily a physical addiction to drugs or alcohol (classified as drug addiction as opposed to drug abuse). However, if drug abuse leads to what is termed as "risky behavior"-otherwise known as unprotected sex, sharing needles, taking street drugs or drugs that have been cut, buying drugs from strangers, engaging in illegal or dangerous activities under the influence or to purchase more drugs-or if drug abuse turns into drug addiction, it may be too late. If your loved one is hurting him or herself, you, your family and friends, and their experience at work or school because of drug or alcohol abuse, it is time for an intervention. It's time to get help at The Canyon.
