Intervention

What exactly is an Intervention?

An Intervention is an attempt to compel a subject to “get help” for an addiction or other problem.

An intervention can be as simple as a conversation. The purpose? To approach your child directly about his drug or alcohol use.

An intervention can be successful, even if it only tackles small goals at first. Just making it clear to your teen that you no longer want him drinking or using drugs is an accomplishment. Addressing your child about his alcohol or drug use may be uncomfortable for both of you, and you may even think it’s unnecessary. But casual or experimental use can quickly turn into abuse, dependence or addiction and can lead to accidents, legal trouble and serious health issues.

That’s why it’s imperative that you intervene as soon as your instinct tells you that something is wrong.
