Drug And Alcohol Interventions

Do you know someone who has been abusing substances and needs a drug and alcohol intervention badly? Chances are, if you do, you’ve been terribly hurt by that person. It’s a cycle of pain that just seems to have no end. Now, there’s hope. Pathfinders interventionists can help.

Most people think of an intervention as a bad “surprise party” that leads to a painful confrontation with little chance of success. It doesn’t have to be that way. Traditional interventions require considerable planning, several meetings or discussions with the interventionist, dishonesty, secrecy and can be emotionally traumatic for all involved. At Pathfinders, our interventionists use a different approach. It’s more of an educational process that requires one phone call, no planning, no secrecy has a better outcome because we’re not just focusing on one person.

The only goal of a traditional drug and alcohol intervention is to get the “target” of the intervention into  treatment whereas our approach is to engage the entire system in a healing process. Helping the entire family identify what needs to change and a plan of action for making that happens yields a better outcome for all involved.

Plus, the surprise party intervention tends to leave the addict or alcoholic resentful that people “snuck up” on him or her. Often, this is used as a diversion from focusing on the real issues of the addiction which wastes valuable time in treatment. Our interventionists are more like teachers who facilitate the recovery process. This is a more respectful approach to everyone involved which means more everyone can get more out of treatment.

At Pathfinders Interventions, we’ve been involved in helping thousands of families get into recovery. We’re ready to bring our experience to help your family as well.
