Prescription Drug Addiction Intervention

When it's clear that someone you love has a problem with prescription drug addiction you have three choices: you can stand by and let it happen, you can walk away, or you can confront that person. Obviously, the third choice is the most beneficial, not only for the person in trouble but for you as well. Communication is the solution to any situation and drug addiction is no different: healing starts when you make it clear that you recognize that your loved one is having a problem and that you would like them to get help.

If you would like your prescription drug addiction intervention to end at The Canyon, contact us today. We can even provide you with a professional interventionist if you need helping staging and running the intervention for your loved one.

Prescription Drug Addiction Intervention: The Basics

A prescription drug addiction intervention allows you to lovingly confront your loved one and point out not only that he or she has a problem with prescription drugs but that that addiction is hurting them, you and everyone else. An intervention is a planned event in which you and others who are close to the prescription drug addict in your life gather, each with a short, nonjudgmental prepared statement about how the addict's addiction has hurt them and affected their lives. Following this, you give your loved one a choice: to enter prescription drug rehab (information here) immediately or... What they will have to lose-their relationship with you, their home, their job-is a highly individual choice and one you should consider carefully on the chance that he or she does not choose treatment and you will have to follow through.

Who To Invite to a Prescription Drug Addiction Intervention

This will depend on the people who are closest to the person who will be the subject of the intervention. The list may include other immediate family members, close friends and colleagues, members of the clergy or other leaders who mean a lot to your loved one. Any friends who are using or who also have a problem with alcohol or other drugs are not likely candidates, but anyone who is held in high esteem by your loved one should be invited.

What to Say at a Prescription Drug Addiction Intervention

Keep it short. Keep it nonjudgmental. Be specific, choosing an incident that hurt you deeply, one that was tainted by addiction. Let him or her know that you are speaking out of love and that your goal is that he or she get help and get well.
