An intervention is a planned meeting in which family and friends confront someone who is using alcohol and/or drugs to an extreme that is damaging to themselves as well as those who care about her. Depending upon the circumstances, clergy members or religious figures may also be included in the process or perhaps respected colleagues and other members of the community. The effort is a compassionate one, nonjudgmental in nature, with a focus on clarifying the need for treatment with an emphasis on consequences if treatment is refused. However, it can still be a difficult process for all concerned. To ease this discomfort and lend a bit of structure and unbiased mediation to the process, a professional interventionist may be the perfect solution.

At Orchid Recovery Center, we can provide you with a professional interventionist who will help you and your family through the alcohol and/or drug intervention and help your loved one move directly from the intervention into treatment at our beautiful woman-centered facility in Palm Springs, Florida.

Why a Professional Interventionist is Necessary

Addiction is an emotionally charged issue. The simple act of discussing it with other members of the family can be a trying experience. Even imagining the idea of gathering a group of family members and friends together to confront the addicted person can be overwhelming. It is for this reason that a professional interventionist may be necessary; without someone else to take the wheel, an intervention may not ever get off the ground, much less be the success that you are hoping for. A professional interventionist can not only run the intervention but also escort your loved one to drug treatment at Orchid Recovery Center. In the case of an especially difficult situation in which the addict in your life also suffers from serious mental illness, suicidal behavior or is violent in nature then a professional interventionist is more than recommended: it is a necessity.

Finding a Professional Interventionist

Finding a professional interventionist is as simple as calling Orchid Recovery Center. We can help you with everything from deciding the finer points of your intervention to providing you with a professional interventionist who can run the final meeting from beginning to end. They will even be available to escort your loved one to treatment at Orchid Recovery Center when the intervention is complete.

Who to Include on Your Intervention Team

Your professional interventionist will be able to help you decide who should be included on the intervention team and who shouldn’t. The decision of who to include in the intervention could make or break the success of the venture, so deciding who to ask is crucial. Ideally, the overall number of people included in the intervention should be between three and eight. Choose first those who are well-respected, loved and admired by the addict. This may include the partner or spouse of the addict, siblings and immediate family members, extended family members, close friends and colleagues, clergy members and teachers. Don’t invite those who have substance abuse problems of their own or extreme mental health issues, those who your loved one dislikes or disrespects, or anyone who may sabotage the endeavor even if they are well-loved and respected by the addict.

Prepare for a Successful Intervention With a Professional Interventionist at Orchid Recovery Center

Even the most thoroughly planned intervention is not a guaranteed success. Prepare yourself for the possibility that the option of treatment will not be chosen by your loved one while also preparing for the most successful intervention possible. You can work to create circumstances conducive to success by following these guidelines:

• Plan for your intervention in detail and in advance.
• Appoint a professional interventionist like one available at Orchid Recovery Center to lead the intervention and its organization.
• Supply all who are invited to participate in the intervention with the same information on addiction and substance abuse so that all involved will be well-educated.
• Hold meetings, conference calls and the like before the actual event to ensure that everyone is on the same page and knows what to expect. A rehearsal is advised to determine the order of speakers and to streamline the process.
• Understand that your loved one will most likely object to treatment and prepare to stand firm.

Orchid Recovery Center can provide you with a professional interventionist as well as the help you need to stage an intervention and help the one you love realize that her abuse of alcohol and/or drug addiction has reached a crisis point. For more information, contact Orchid Recovery Center today.
