Alcohol Treatment Intervention
Planning and executing an alcohol treatment intervention can be overwhelming, especially when you are living in the midst of a loved one's alcoholism. There are a number of details to keep in mind and it often occurs on short notice. For some, the best option to relieve any undue stress is to hire a professional interventionist and allow yourself to focus on your loved one rather than the intervention.
At Michael's House, we provide a soft landing for your loved one after an emotional alcohol treatment intervention. Learn more about the alcohol treatment program we offer here at Michael's House. Contact our call center at .
Alcohol Treatment Intervention: Who to Invite
Whether or not people will want to be involved in the alcohol treatment intervention is one thing, but you should at least invite the people who are closest to your loved one. This includes best friends, close family members like siblings and parents, significant others and/or community members may be among those asked to participate.
A few caveats: do not include minor children unless they are older and have something constructive to add. Also, do not include family members who are alcoholics or drug addicts. Additionally, avoid inviting people whose knowledge of the situation is not personal or who could hurt your loved one with the information; in other words, respect their anonymity at work and in the community if at all possible.
Alcohol Treatment Intervention: Where to Have It
The location of your loved one's alcohol treatment intervention should be convenient for them. While they won't know that the intervention is scheduled, the location for the event should be somewhere that your loved one comes to often. Home locations are usually easiest and more comfortable for you and your loved one. Also, since you will need to wait until your loved one is sober before you begin, the location should be somewhere that you can wait that long. In the same way, an alcohol treatment intervention can be highly emotional, so the location should be somewhere appropriate.
Alcohol Treatment Intervention: Do You Need a Professional Interventionist?
A professional interventionist is trained to handle the unexpected that may arise during an alcohol treatment intervention. They also know how to steer the process in the right direction, determine when your loved one is prepared to hear what everyone has to say, and escort them to alcohol rehab when they accept the offer for medical treatment at the intervention's end. They can handle all of the details from beginning to end, or they can just run the intervention itself, whatever makes you feel more comfortable.
Alcohol Treatment at Michael's House
At Michael's House, we can provide your loved one with a comprehensive alcohol rehab program that is modified to suit their needs. If they have a co-occurring disorder like depression, bipolar disorder or anxiety, they will receive treatment for this at the same time. Later in their treatment, when they are ready, you may be invited to participate in family therapy as well.
