More on Intervention

The purpose of this podcast is to provide more detailed insight into the process of intervention which requires a total commitment and is much more complicated than we see on TV.

1. The overriding goal of an intervention is to get the addict/alcoholic to accept help and go into treatment.
2. You will use the immense power of the group to achieve your purpose.
3. You will use the power of love which cannot be denied and cuts through resistance and overpowers defiance.
4. Readiness is everything: teambuilding, education, inviting people who care for him into the circle.
5. Have them share their love and concern by reading their prepared letters out loud.
6. And this part is why you are all there: offer the option of either treatment today or lack of future support for their current lifestyle.
