Family Drug Interventions In Alberta And BC
Family members are often the people who have to deal with most of the consequences brought about by the substance abuse problem of a loved one. As a result, family members could end up experiencing many different emotions ranging from resentment to sadness to apathy concerning the issue and may feel like they’ve lost a loved one forever. Some of the time family members, though with good intentions, could end up directing these emotions to the person affected and this often does more harm than good. Being mad at someone abusing alcohol and drugs normally results in the person falling even deeper into a life of drug abuse and leads to them distancing themselves even further from friends and family because of guilt. It is, therefore, advisable that you avoid this route and losing a loved one to their addiction for good. The best option would be to hold a drug intervention as a family to help the person realize that they have an addiction problem and that they need help and that you can provide the help.
Family members thinking of holding a family drug intervention need to understand that their loved one’s problem does not have to reach a critical stage, or what’s commonly referred to as “rock bottom” before they can receive the help they need or before an intervention can be held. The deeper one gets into substance abuse, the harder it becomes to dig them out of it. The devastating outcomes and various health consequences drug abuse can cause can be avoided when intervention is held as early as possible. In such instances, the addicted person has a better chance of making a full recovery and retaining their social status, health, etc.
It’s common for drug interventions to become complicated because of the different circumstances and situations of a family. As a result, most family drug interventions become very emotionally charged. In such situations, it would be advisable to have an unbiased outside professional step in. The main goal of most professionals is getting your loved one back on their feet again. Should anything that family members feel like they can’t address or handle arise, a professional can be of help since they are experienced in handling the different issues and problems that arise in the course of a drug intervention and should help keep things on track. Professional interventionists can also be very useful liaisons between the families they are intervening for and the rehab center the families choose, and can also help make preparations and arrangements for the addict’s arrival and stay at the rehab if they agree to get help.
Family members with an intention to participate in their loved one’s intervention need to understand the process and should agree to stick to various steps of intervention so as to make the entire process a success. The specialists being consulted or an intervention professional can help the family better understand addiction, how it is treated and how the family should handle the intervention. An interventionist guides through the various steps of intervention and instructs the family on how to communicate with their troubled loved one through the drug intervention meeting. A suitable place and time for the intervention will be agreed upon. This needs to be a place with minimal distractions. It is also vital that these arrangements be made without the knowledge of the affected person until the moment when he or she is confronted.
