Drug Alcohol Addiction Intervention Services
#1 Addiction Intervention Specialist
Ambrosia Behavioral Health now provides a best-of-class Free intervention service in the USA. We are proud to report that statistics bear out that as much as about 60-80% of families that use well-trained professional intervention specialists like those we provide have gotten their loved one into treatment.
We know that getting someone you love the treatment they need but don’t really want because of their substance addiction can be very difficult. After all, addiction makes it so that the addict a lot of the time is not even aware or is not well able to realize the destruction of their lives and their families. The destructive behaviors impact not just the person using drugs and alcohol, but also the entire family and close friends. Knowing that this is a physical, emotional, financial, and long and taxing process, Ambrosia supports families with intervention services that are offered with compassion and empathy, evidence-based practices, and many years of experience with addiction treatment and recovery.
What are the Different Types of Interventions?
Are Interventions Helpful for Addiction?
When it comes to interventions, they are helpful for addiction. When someone is in the grips of active addiction to drugs or alcohol, it can be extremely difficult for them to understand what’s happening. Therefore, they may not fully understand how much they may need help. An individual receiving proper care during addiction is vital to them being able to make it out on the other side. Additionally, an intervention can be the catalyst for this process to begin in their life.
Why Should Someone Hire an Interventionist?
However, the probability of success without professional guidance and support is far less than with the interventionist’s help. These professional men and women can help guide the family through the process of providing the option for their loved one. They can also help the loved ones of the substance user to understand the nature of addiction. Last but not least, they can educate them on how it affects the family and the person struggling.
Types of Interventions
Not every type of intervention is like they portray in TV shows. Gathering all of the person’s close friends and relatives, confronting them when the facts, and then trying to help them decide to receive help isn’t the only type. In a simple intervention, a single person just bringing up the issue could be the catalyst to the individual seeking help. These can be effective with or without the help of a professional.
Classic interventions are a type of intervention that incorporates the Johnson Model. These are more like the ones that are seen in television shows, and the more commonly thought of form of intervention. They involve planning and execution to assist the person who is struggling with addiction through the process of accepting help. The setting should be calm and focused. This type of intervention is best done with an interventionist. Here, they can help prepare the family for all possible outcomes and set up a process for successful intervention with their loved one.
These types of interventions assist in the family unit healing while simultaneously addressing a loved one’s struggles. They focus on the family dynamic. Compulsions, codependence, and other family struggles. The professional interventionist helps the family to begin healing as they also help the loved one choose a path to recovery. The family begins to participate in different training processes that can continue after the intervention.
These are necessary when the loved one becomes a danger to themself or another person. They often occur when a mental health or behavioral crisis begins, and provide a short-term solution to the bigger issue. They provide immediate help to handle stresses and traumas. These types of interventions help to prevent tragedy from occurring as a result of addiction to substances.
What Are the Benefits of Them?
Techniques and Treatment Models
Overall, they focus only on addiction, but therapy is the main focus for the person struggling, providing options for treatment. This structure of the Johnson Model makes it crucial for the interventionist to be present to help create the best environment for these interventions to take place.
