In many of these cases, there was a missing ingredient that might have turned the recipe for disaster into one for success - an intervention with the addict’s friends, family and an experienced, professional intervention counselor. Intervention can raise the odds for saving a loved one’s life through drug rehab.



Addicted people have a thousand different ways to deny their addiction problems, and they can come up with a thousand ways to convince you they don’t need help and you should leave them alone. Or they’ll make promise after promise about getting into drug rehab - promises that are seldom kept.

However, if you make the decision that it’s gone far enough, that you are just not going to take “no" for an answer, and you attempt to force the issue on your own, you might find yourself in a bigger battle than you bargained for.

A family’s attempt to motivate their loved one to get into drug rehab can sometimes cause such a huge upset that the family “backs off" and leaves the addict alone. However, deep down inside, the addict knows they need help.

Resisting treatment doesn’t mean the addict is happy abusing drugs or alcohol. They are just as miserable about it as you are, but they can’t face up to doing something about it. The same emotional issues that led to their addiction, the ones they couldn’t deal with then, are playing a role now in their refusal to accept help. Your attempts to penetrate to that level are blocked by a wall of denial which is held in place by long-hidden pain, insecurity, guilt, anxiety and any number of other personal issues.

But never forget that no matter what they say to you, they’re desperate for help. And you have to have the courage to stand up to the barrage of excuses, lies, false promises and outright attacks on you for trying to get them the help they need.

If you’ve taken your best shot, you need a professional intervention counselor - they’ve heard it all, and many of them have been there themselves. They know exactly how to cut through that wall and get the person to agree to drug rehab.

If you have a situation that has led you here to the Internet looking for help for a friend of family member with a drug addiction problem, don’t wait any longer. When addiction is the problem, waiting is a deadly game. All it takes is your decision to act now - to stop hoping things will “turn out alright" - because the next crisis could be the final tragedy.
