Substance abuse strips its victims of their capacity for rational judement

Your decision to conduct an intervention may well save the life of the addict you care about. Substance abuse strips its victims of their capacity for rational judgment and honest self-assessment. The result, obviously, is that addicts generally cannot recognize their problems without help. That’s why interventions are so important. Only through the intervention process can a drug or abuse be made to admit that he needs help. In the end, nothing could ever be more important than that.

But that’s not to say conducting an intervention is easy. On the contrary, crisis interventions are inherently traumatic events, fraught by tension and stress on both sides. The good news is that the right intervention specialist can help you marshal your emotions during an addiction intervention, and deliver your message exactly as the addict you care about needs to hear it. The only catch is that you have to seek out assistance. For your own sake, don’t wait another day to make the right choice.
