Family Drug Intervention
We Can HELP You
1-877-345-8494

A family drug intervention is one of the best ways to help your loved one recognize how serious their issues with drug addiction are and an even better way to get them the help they need in the form of medical detox and therapeutic addiction treatment. Learning how to stage a family drug intervention isn’t difficult, but if you feel that you are too emotionally close to the situation to run it well, a professional interventionist may be of assistance.

Michael’s House provides drug and alcohol rehab for those whose family member’s accept help for their drug addiction. We can also connect you with a professional interventionist who will stage your family drug intervention and assist you by accompanying your loved one to our treatment facility here in Palm Springs, California. Call us at 1-877-345-8494 to learn more about what we can offer you and your family at Michael’s House.

Family Drug Intervention: Who to Include

When choosing who to include at your family drug intervention, consider who your addicted loved one holds in high esteem. Close aunts, uncles, and cousins who live close enough to participate may be an option. Spouses or clean and sober boyfriends or girlfriends, children if they are old enough, and even close friends who are concerned.

One thing to note: those included in your family drug intervention should not be actively living in addiction themselves. That is to say, those who are in recovery and who have not relapsed with your loved one who is the focus of the intervention may be included, but those who are actively using drugs and alcohol are not in a position to add positive commentary that the addict you are addressing will hear.

Family Drug Intervention: What to Say

Each person included in the family drug intervention will have a chance to address the person who is the focus of the intervention directly. What should the intervention attendees say? Since the idea is to help your family member recognize that drug addiction is a serious and dangerous issue that requires immediate treatment, your time spent speaking should focus on a specific incident that shows without question how their addictive behavior hurt them or hurt you directly. There is no judgment, no quantifying the behavior or incident as bad or immoral or wrong. Rather, the tone should be factual: this happened, it happened because of your addiction, and you need help to make sure that it doesn’t happen again because, if repeated, the end result may be even worse.

Family Drug Intervention and Addiction Treatment at Michael’s House

Family drug interventions can be difficult for everyone involved. Family members suffer as much as the addict when drug and alcohol addiction is present, and confronting someone you love when you are so deeply and emotionally invested in the outcome can make it even harder. A professional interventionist can ease some of these issues by allowing you to focus on your loved one rather than on the technicalities of the proceedings.
