What Is an Addiction Intervention?

An addiction intervention is a structured and compassionate process aimed at helping an individual recognise their substance misuse and accept professional addiction treatment. Often, those struggling with addiction are in denial about the severity of their condition, and an intervention can be the crucial turning point towards recovery.

The Role of the Interventionist

"The role of the interventionist is to bring the family and friends of the addict together to stop the downward spiral of their loved one's addiction" states Graham. The interventionist offers insight, education, and guidance to everyone involved, ensuring a compassionate and effective process while collaborating with loved ones to develop a strategic plan. The interventionist will travel to those involved and liaise with our Treatment Advisors to facilitate a seamless transition into suitable treatment, such as residential rehab, ensuring there is no delay once the individual accepts they need help.

With an 80-90% success rate, they are widely recommended by addiction specialists for those in need of treatment and there are a variety of different intervention models.

Essential Skills of an Interventionist

Interventionists require a unique skill set to manage the complexities of addiction interventions. Graham emphasises, “The main skills required are the ability to listen to the family and the addict, to stay calm in challenging situations, and to prepare for any scenario that may arise.” Clear communication and a non-judgemental, compassionate approach are key to a successful intervention.

Who Should Be Involved in an Intervention?

The intervention team should include individuals who have a positive and supportive relationship with the addict, as their involvement can greatly impact the intervention's success. According to Graham, "Any family member, friend, or work colleague who is willing to support the addict in their recovery can take part." Key participants often include close family members, friends, and sometimes co-workers or mentors who know the individual well. The presence of supportive individuals helps the addict realise the strength of their support network. When the team is unified and committed, the chances of the addict accepting help and entering treatment are significantly higher. Additionally, working with a professional interventionist ensures the process is handled effectively and with care.

Find the right treatment or rehab for any addiction

Most people's minds immediately go to substance misuse when thinking about addiction. From alcohol to illicit, legal or prescription drugs, there are many different chemical substances that are highly addictive. However, addiction is also a mental health issue; behavioural addictions can be just as harmful as substance addictions and occur when you become addicted to a particular activity.
