How Family Intervention Works

The first time you call Newman Interventions, there is a lot of time spent on the phone, answering your questions and gathering information.  The first day we arrive in Puerto Rico is spent with the family educating the family and preparing for the intervention the following day.  Everything is planned out, right down to who will be packing the addict’s bag and having it ready to go.  When the intervention takes place, anything can happen, and it is the job of the professional interventionist to prepare the family.  An intervention is only as successful as the people taking part in the intervention.  There will be a part of the intervention where the family has to set a bottom line.  The consequences for if they say no and refuse treatment.

This is all worked out with the intervention specialist, along with things such as family letters, flights, and transportation to the airport.  It is typically a good choice to have the interventionist escort the addict to the airport and the treatment center.  Certified interventionists know what to expect and how to handle any situation that may come up, such as enabling and family arguments.  Doing it this way also avoids any old arguments that may come up between the addict the family.  It is also important to avoid long goodbyes and understand the only goal is getting the addict into treatment.
