The kindest and most loving thing family and friends can do. Anytime someone needs help but refuses to accept it, a family intervention is appropriate. A family intervention can be used for people engaged in any self-destructive behavior: • alcohol abuse, alcohol addiciton • drug abuse, drug addiction • eating disorders, such as over eating, anorexia or bulimia • gambling addiction, sex addiction • computer addiction, internet addiction • a senior needing assisted living • a person struggling with chronic pain Intervention is the most loving, powerful and successful method yet for helping people accept help. A Word of Caution: Family interventions are difficult and delicate matters and it is important that they be done properly. No family intervention should be undertaken without advice and counsel of a professional experienced in the intervention process. Furthermore, since people embarking on an intervention often feel ambivalent and apprehensive, it is important that they trust the interventionist. Should you ever feel uneasy with your interventionist, that you are being asked to do something you do not understand or agree with, you would be wise to stop the process and go elsewhere.
