Why Should We Stage an Intervention?
The purpose of an intervention is to essentially hold up a mirror to your friend or loved one who is struggling with addiction and their behaviors, revealing the need for them to accept that they need help, and to offer support. This is an important event in a person’s life and needs to be planned carefully. Staging an intervention can be emotionally taxing and may result in a variety of responses from the individual with the substance use disorder, and they may or may not accept treatment in the end.
