Q: When Is An Intervention Necessary?
A: When you have a family member or loved one struggling with addiction or mental health, it’s not always easy to tell when it is the right time for an intervention. If your loved one is dealing with a drug or alcohol addiction, just know that you are not alone.

When Is An Intervention Necessary

Many family and friends believe they can simply discuss their loved one’s addictive behavior and convince them to enter treatment. Unfortunately, it rarely works out that way. When their alcohol or drug addiction is severe, the addict consciously makes a decision to continue their alcohol or drug abuse without taking action.

By staging an intervention with the help of a professional interventionist, families can find the proper substance abuse treatment programs to succeed in getting their loved ones the addiction treatment they need.

What Signs Should I Look Out For?

Substance use disorders and mental health concerns look different in everyone. It becomes difficult to decipher if your loved one should seek treatment. It is essential to recognize the signs of severe addiction but can be difficult to know what to watch out for.

Here are some common signs of addiction:

Changes in physical appearance
Enhanced emotional state
Lying and arguing about the use of drugs or alcohol
Engaging in illegal activities to support habits
Financial troubles caused by addiction

While these may seem obvious to spot, addicts are extremely good at convincing others they don’t have a problem–especially when it involves family members and close friends. The best thing to do is trust your gut and get your loved ones the help they desperately need when they need it. Interventions are not only effective in addiction recovery but work to save the lives of people you love.

Praise For Drew Horowitz & Associates

I consider myself lucky to have stumbled upon Drew Horowitz and his associates. I was lost, and did not know where to start when my loved one was hospitalized. Given my situation, I could not travel to pick him up after discharge. Aaron traveled all the way to pick him up and made the transportation seamless. He was very compassionate and provided excellent care for my loved one in a time of great need. Meghan worked extremely hard to help us find a suitable step down treatment center for him. I would not have been able to do this on my own. I will be forever thankful.

Sandy did an incredible job during the intervention process for the entire family. She was always professional, understanding, and passionate about the need to help. She provided guidance during and after the Intervention and was constantly checking in. While it is one of the harder days of your life, Sandy did an amazing job helping everyone through it. We cannot thank her enough.
