The Family Intervention Process

During a family intervention, emotions can run high, which is why a certified interventionist is there.  They are the outside third-party who see the situation for what it is and keep the family moving forward.  The entire process to plan the intervention does not take long, and the first day is spent with the family.  The family education day is essential because it helps determine who will be there, where it’s going to happen, and planning transportation details to treatment.  When the intervention is taking place, and the addict is sitting among family and friends, anything can end up happening.  Typically, when most addicts hear what the family says, there is some resistance, but eventually, they see what their addiction has done.  When the time comes that they say yes, the bag is brought out, and the person responsible for taking them to treatment brings them to the car.

The best thing you can do is have your intervention specialist escort them to the airport and bring them to treatment.  An interventionist is qualified to know where the points of the trip are that they may take off.  They can also keep the addict on the rails and keep them steady during the trip.  What ends up happening when the family escorts them is something that can be said that sets them off.  This is the most critical time of the intervention, which is getting the addict to the treatment program.  Drug and alcohol addiction consumes a person, and regardless of the drug, it will take everything away from them.  So many families in Mississippi are watching a loved one struggle with addiction.  Throughout the state, drugs such as cocaine and prescription drugs or pain medication are commonly abused.  Marijuana is the most commonly abused substance in the state and is always part of a larger addiction for most addicts.
