Interventions have got to be about love. An intervention can’t work if it’s driven by angst, or acrimony; if you want an intervention to be successful, you’ve got to remember why you set out to conduct it in the first place: to convince the addict you care about that he’s got to get help.

If someone you care about has slipped into a pattern of compulsive drug abuse, you’re sure to have plenty of grievances against him. An intervention, though, isn’t the forum in which to air them. Interventions only matter..are only successful…if they result in an addict’s enrolling in a drug rehab center. Short of that, nothing could ever be important.

The intervention process is never easy. The good news is that professional intervention counselors can help you along the way, and that the right guidance can make a world of difference. For your own sake, for the sake of whomever it is that needs help…don’t wait another day to make the right decision. An intervention is always too important to put off until tomorrow.
