Does Your Husband or Wife Need An Intervention?

If you have a husband or wife abusing substances and may need an intervention, a Pathfinders interventionist can help. The idea of an intervention can be scary because people don’t understand what’s involved. For example, many people still don’t know that there are different ways to approach an intervention. The word intervention conjures up images seen on TV with secret meetings, letters to write, anxiety over confrontation, etc. “Surprising” someone into going to treatment that day can be a recipe for a bad outcome. That’s just not how our interventionists do things at Pathfinders.

Address Dishonesty With More Dishonesty?

That just makes no sense to us. Old school interventionists try to get the substance abuser into treatment that day with a “Go Today Or You’re Going To Die” tone. But, we know that addicts and alcoholics don’t want to die. They just don’t know how to live without chemicals. Plotting behind his or her back then using false pretenses to approach them tends to builid resistance and resentments which has a horrible effect on outcomes. We approach intervening on your husband or wife with more respect than that.

At Pathfinders, our interventionists understand that no one gets sick by themselves. People get sick around the ones they love, and family members are terribly wounded in the process. Isn’t it time we take an approach that addresses all of the pain in the system rather than in one person? That just feels right to us, and our results prove it.

Drug and alcohol abuse takes years to develop. It’s time to give healing the same investment.
