Interventions

Families often hesitate to pursue an intervention for many reasons. One of the most common fears is that their loved one will respond with anger or defensiveness—ultimately rejecting the help offered. This fear can be paralyzing, especially when you're already walking on eggshells, unsure of what to say or do.

Others worry that taking action might damage the relationship further or somehow make the situation worse. Shame and embarrassment surrounding their loved one’s addiction can also create a wall, making it hard to ask for help—even when it's desperately needed.

There’s also the fear of the unknown. Many families have only heard stories of chaotic, painful “do-it-yourself” interventions that didn’t go as planned. The idea of confronting the addiction of  someone you love can feel overwhelming without a clear understanding of the process and what comes next.

And sometimes, there’s a quiet fear that’s even harder to admit...

What if it doesn’t work? What if we try, and they still say no? This is one of the hardest fears to name out loud, but it’s one I hear often. And it’s completely valid. What if you pour your heart into this, follow all the steps, gather your team… and your loved one still says no?

Here’s the truth: Love First interventions have an 85% success rate on the day of the intervention. That means most individuals do say yes on intervention day.

But even when the answer is “not yet,” it’s far from over. In most cases, those who initially decline end up entering treatment within three weeks. Why? Because the groundwork has been laid. The message has been delivered. And your loved one now knows, without question, that help is available and they are deeply loved. Intervention is never a one-day event. It's a process, and often the beginning of real change.

You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

Fear is powerful, but love is stronger. When handled with professional guidance, intervention becomes a compassionate, structured opportunity for change. It's not about confrontation—it's about connection. It's not about forcing someone—it's about inviting them into hope. Together, we’ll walk through each step with clarity and intention, transforming uncertainty into confidence and fear into purpose. You’ll be supported at every turn.

A Note of Hope

I’ve walked alongside many families in moments of fear, heartbreak, and hesitation, and I’ve witnessed incredible change. I’ve seen the person who "would never accept help" walk into treatment. I’ve seen fractured families take the first steps toward healing. And I’ve seen hope return where it once felt lost. 

Change begins with one step. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to reach out.
