Intervention for substance abuse is necessary when an individual addict is not in a position to find help for themselves due to their drug and alcohol abuse, and family/friends are concerned and worried about the well-being of their loved one. Most often, families seek the help of a drug rehab along with an interventionist when they feel their loved one is a danger to themselves or others, or their life has spiraled out of control.
What is an Intervention after all?
Interventions are usually carried-out in the following manner: First, the interventionist meets with the family and/or close friends without the knowledge of the individual who is struggling with an addiction (to gather background information).
Next, the interventionist will schedule a meeting with the family and the addict. Family members and loved ones usually write letters to the addict to express their feelings and concerns, and these letters are shared in the presence of the interventionist.
Interventions are used as a way of breaking through denial (which the addict experiences heavily) and to persuade them into seeking the needed help of a professional drug rehab; in such a case, rehabilitation will start by means of detoxing and by attending daily therapeutic treatment sessions with psychiatrist, psychologist and therapists.
Preparing for an Intervention
When preparing for an intervention, families and friends need to understand that their loved one cannot have any warning in regards to this meeting. As addicts are in denial, they will do everything in their power to avoid any meeting related to their substance abuse.
As you may expect, interventions are emotionally draining, yet you need to view it as a positive event. It may or may not change the life of the individual in question, forever. And this may be the family's only chance to rescue the addict from a path that will lead to a dire situation.

Statistics show over 95% success rate for getting an addict to agree to be admitted into a drug rehab for treatment on the day of the intervention, and even if they don't choose to seek treatment on the day of the intervention, most seek help soon after as they realized the pain he/she has caused to family and friends.
