当有人需要成瘾治疗时,可能是必要的阶段一个间歇雨刷entionin order to help them realize this need. But whom should you invite into this process?

Hire a Professional Interventionist

One of the best actions to take in the beginning of your planning stage is to hire a professional interventionist and invite them to the meeting. According to theUniversity of North Texas Collegiate Recovery Program, doing so can help ensure that your loved one’s intervention goes smoothly and that you are all able to communicate with one another more easily.

Hiring someone to do this can also allow your loved one to realize that this is a serious matter, as you have gone through the trouble to seek the help of a professional. The interventionist can lead the discussion and help everyone avoid saying things that are incendiary or problematic, which will avoid the discussion turning into an argument.

列出重要人物

试着列出你所爱的人民生活中最重要的人。这些人可能能够帮助您的朋友或家人意识到他们确实需要寻求帮助,而且你不是唯一一个感觉这种方式的人。想想你所爱的人最信任的人以及他们的人

  • Go to for advice
  • Ask for money
  • Look up to or respect
  • Have deep respect for regarding their opinions

Once you have a list, try narrowing it down to about four to six people. You don’t want the intervention to have too many people who will overwhelm your loved one, nor do you want it to seem like you weren’t able to find enough people who share your feelings.

Consider Personalities

It is important to consider the personalities of each person you are thinking about involving in your loved one’s intervention and whether or not they will be helpful to the overall situation. For example, according to theNational Institute on Drug Abuse, “Many people do not understand why or how other people become addicted to drugs.” Others may have strong feelings about addiction and would have trouble hiding them. Still others may become too angry, upset, or emotional during the event and possibly cause an argument. These people should be left off your list.

Staging Your Intervention

Once you have a good list of about four to six people, it is time to stage your intervention. Remember always that the purpose of this is to help your loved one realize they need addiction treatment and that the ultimate goal is to get them into a professional rehab program as quickly as possible.

这就是为什么在干预之前建立一个治疗方案是非常重要的,以便立即将您所爱的人进入康复。我们可以帮助您找到安全,可靠的设施,您的朋友或家人可以参加最有利于他们的成瘾康复计划。
