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.

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.
