When is a Substance Use Intervention Needed?

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), over 107,000 people died from a drug-involved overdose in 2022 alone. We want to help prevent your family member or loved one from becoming a statistic.

Drug abuse affects the entire network of family and friends, not only the user. You may ask yourself when it is necessary to stage a substance abuse intervention. If drugs are causing issues within your friend or family member’s relationships, work, or personal life, it’s time to consult with Drew Horowitz & Associates and discuss the possibility of an intervention.

Many people believe they need to wait to stage an intervention until a user has reached “rock bottom.” Rock bottom is a subjective term that’s difficult to define, which is why it’s recommended to intervene before the patient’s addiction gets worse. By reaching people early in their addiction, you can help them receive treatment before irreversible damage happens.

It is common for addicts to deny that their drug use is the cause of difficulties in their life. They will often make excuses or blame others for their problems, not recognizing that it’s their substance use disorder causing the problems they face.

In these cases, addiction intervention can help break through their denial, leading them to see that treatment is their best option.

The Power of a Successful Drug Intervention

A successful intervention will be emotional, but in the end, the family will have effectively convinced their loved one to seek professional treatment for their substance abuse.

At Drew Horowitz & Associates, we take our job seriously and work with you throughout the entire intervention process to keep everything on track. With the conversation being extremely emotional with real feelings and events involved, it can often turn to negativity. You may want to express how you’ve been hurt by their addiction, but we’ll be there to ensure the atmosphere stays positive, calm, and effective. Ultimately, the intervention will be a conversation based on saving the life of your loved one.

We will prepare you for all outcomes, positive and negative. We will discuss treatment options and what will need to happen if the patient chooses not to accept treatment. We will help you find the best possible program for your loved one in case they choose to enter treatment. We will also create a plan of action in case they choose against entering treatment.

Finding an Interventionist

You may think because your loved one is a family member you do not need a professional to stage an intervention. While this is true, we highly recommend against doing so.

Our interventionists are trained and skilled at conducting drug interventions. We understand the thought process the patient has walking into one and what it will take to get them to agree to treatment. Plus, we know how to prepare everyone involved for participating in the actual intervention.

We also work with your loved one to successfully transition them into the treatment program after a successful intervention. If you have a loved one that is struggling with drug use, don’t wait to seek the life-saving help of an intervention. Contact Drew Horowitz & Associates today.
