When someone you love begins to behave in ways that worry you, it can feel overwhelming to know where to go for help. Finding help is especially daunting when the affected person doesn’t want help…

It’s a common misconception that an interventionist’s primary function is to make an uplifting speech that inspires someone to admit they need treatment. Rather, the role of a professional interventionist goes far beyond meeting with someone who is struggling with addiction or a dual diagnosis to pull them forward. It also involves helping loved ones learn to change their habits and set appropriate boundaries that hold people accountable.
Many people incorrectly believe their loved ones must hit rock bottom before they will accept help. However, think of an intervention as a controlled bottom. By enlisting the help of a professional interventionist, family and friends can raise an addicted individual’s bottom, allowing them to see it without having to hit it.
