If you have a loved one who struggles with substance abuse disorder and other mental health conditions, you can feel powerless watching them struggle.

Learn more about how drug treatment interventions can encourage your loved one to get addiction treatment in Lilydale.
Drug Treatment Interventions
During an intervention, the addiction patient’s support system will come together to have a frank and vulnerable conversation about their addiction and recovery options. A third-party moderator will lead the conversation. The moderator has de-escalation and addiction training. Once the patient arrives, the support system will provide a statement about how the addiction has impacted the patient and everyone else. In the end, the moderator will go over the treatment options available to the patient. Ideally, the intervention will end with the patient agreeing to go to rehabilitation.
Organizing an Intervention
When not planned properly, an intervention can easily go awry. It’s best to enlist help from professional intervention services to maximize the chance of a positive result. With the moderator, you will include more people in your plan. Pick a time and place that’s low-stress and stick to positive statements instead of accusatory statements. If things get confrontational, the patient may decide not to go forward with treatment. It’s best to offer multiple options to give the patient some autonomy about the start of their new, sober life.
