Alcohol Interventions That Make Work!
Does Someone You Know here in Atlanta Need An Alcohol Intervention?
If you know and love someone who is abusing alcohol, consider a alcohol intervention today. It’s not what you’ve seen on TV. At Pathfinders, our interventionists use an educational approach that addresses more than just the alcohol abuser. People don’t get sick by themselves, and they certainly don’t get better alone. No one has more influence on us like our family. It’s time we use the strength of that love to heal as well. No more threats. No more coercion. Just honesty, clarity and love. There is hope.
But, what if the whole family needs help? The point is, they always do. It’s a fact, only alcohol abusers are responsible for drinking, but as this occurs, family members get hurt repeatedly. Over time, these wounds run deep, effect judgement and tear families apart, yet these family members get the least amount of help. Our alcohol interventions address this and deal with it directly. We see the family as the “identified patient” rather than focusing upon one individual. A healthier family is our goal.
Think about it, if we only focus on the alcohol abuser, send him/her off to treatment only to return to the same wounded environment, what are the chances of success? Treating the system helps everyone get better. I’s a simple concept that gets results.
At Pathfinders Interventions, we don’t typically do the “surprise party” model of interventions. We’ve done these before and we find that the overall outcome isn’t very good. If you stop and think about it, if your family and loved ones surprised you and coerced you to go to somewhere, you would probably go, but you’d resent it. Many addicts and alcoholics reluctantly go to treatment and waste so much time focusing on the resentment they have for being surprised that they lose out on actual treatment.
We take a more educational approach. No secret meetings. No secret conversations. We’re done with secrets entirely. We have a straightforward, honest approach where we work with the family system to begin a recovery process. If the system gets healthier, everyone in that system benefits.
We work with families all around the Atlanta area but we’ll do interventions anywhere in Georgia and even travel if necessary. If you know someone who has been using alcohol and needs help badly, a Pathfinders alcohol intervention is the right call to make. Call 770.569.3801 today.
