Professional Family Interventionists in Bostwick, GA.

Professional family interventionists are experienced in successfully hosting family interventions in Bostwick. These interventions are designed to get the addict to accept help by going to an effective drug rehab facility as well as help the family and loved ones of the addict through the negative effects and tremendous hardships as a result of the addiction.

The purpose of the family interventionist is to organize, plan, direct, and oversee the intervention process in such a way that the event is composed and structured and has the greatest chances for success.

Drug interventions are more elaborate and complex than you might think. They are far more than simply a family meeting or conversation. Professional family interventionists have a number of duties and responsibilities throughout the whole procedure.

Some common functions of a professional family interventionist include:

• Planning and organizing the intervention - Who will attend, when and where it will happen, and layout everyone's role.
• Advising which treatment centers will be most suitable and effective for the addict and the family, taking into consideration the families budget and insurance coverage.
• scheduling enrollment and arrival arrangements with the rehab center that the family has selected.
• Planning, counseling, educating, and practicing with the family about exactly what will be said and done during the intervention.
• Arranging for the addict to arrive at the intervention location.
• Guide, direct, and maintain structure and control with the family as well as the addict while the intervention is taking place.
• Arrange transportation and timing for the addicts arrival to the rehab center.

Even with extensive planning, there are some things to avoid during the actual intervention. These include, but are not limited to the following:

Don'ts at an Intervention

a) Labels

Avoid labels like junkie, addict, or alcoholic - or anything that the addict may think is offensive. Instead, speak in neutral terms that do not define the person by their substance abuse problem.

b) Overcrowding

Instead of overcrowding the meeting, pick out a select group of close family members and friends.

c) Personal Feelings

Try not to get angry or upset during the drug and alcohol intervention. You can think of ways to manage these feelings to ensure that the event is not overtaken by harmful emotions.

d) Intoxication

If the addict is under the influence - or another member of the group - you should not host the drug and alcohol intervention. Instead, wait for them to sober up before doing the intervention.
