Professional Family Interventionists in Umpqua, OR.

Professional family interventionists are trained and experienced in successfully holding family interventions in Umpqua. These interventions are designed to help get the addicted loved one to agree to receiving help by going to a professional addiction rehabilitation facility along with helping the family and caregivers of the addict through the harmful effects and severe stress caused by the addiction.

The purpose of the family interventionist is to organize, plan, direct, and oversee the intervention in such a way that the event is structured and controlled and has the highest possibility for success.

Drug and Alcohol interventions are more involved and complex than you might initially think. They are much more than simply a family conversation or meeting. Professional family interventionists have a number of functions and responsibilities during the whole process.

Some common duties of a professional family interventionist include:

• Planning and organizing the intervention - Who will attend, where and when it will occur, and layout everyone's role.
• Advising which rehab centers will best fit the needs of the addicted loved one and the family, taking into consideration the families insurance coverage and budget.
• Planning arrival and enrollment arrangements with the rehab program that the family has selected.
• Planning, educating, counseling, and rehearsing with the family about precisely what will be said and done throughout the intervention.
• Getting the addict to show up at the intervention location.
• Direct, guide and maintain structure and control with the addict as well as the family during the actual intervention.
• Arrange transportation and timing for the addicts arrival to the treatment program.

Even with extensive planning, there are some things that you might want to avoid during the actual intervention. These may include, but are not limited to:

Don'ts at an Intervention

a) Labels

Avoid labels like junkie, addict, or drunk - as well as anything that the addict may take as offensive. Instead, go for neutral terms that do not define the person by their addiction.

b) Overcrowding

Rather than overcrowding the intervention with many people, pick out a select group of close family members and loved ones.

c) Personal Feelings

Try not to get angry or upset during the intervention. Try to manage these emotions to ensure that the event is not eventually overrun by the strong emotions involved.

d) Intoxication

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