When a family member is addicted to drugs, alcohol or other unhealthy compulsive behaviors the effects on the family are often severe. It is not just the addicted person that suffers; the whole family suffers. But you are not alone. There is help available to you right now. You and other family members and friends can make a difference in your loved one’s life and help them recover by arranging for a family intervention. A family intervention facilitated by a trained expert, will help your loved one recognize their need for help. When a person suffers from addiction to alcohol, drugs, eating disorders or other unhealthy compulsive behaviors, it controls their life. They are unable to see how it affects their life and the lives of those they care about. A professional family intervention is an opportunity to interrupt the dangerous patterns of behavior and end the cycle of addiction by addressing the cause directly and stopping all efforts to merely treat the symptoms. The addict is shown, in a loving and caring way, that the problem they have is one that they cannot handle on their own, and they need professional help: help that is readily available from a professional treatment program. The family that had been helping by treating the symptoms is now ready through the process of family intervention to help in a truly effective manner by providing them with the support they need to take the crucial step towards recovery.
