Interventions
Many families feel overwhelmed by exhaustion, fear, and frustration when a loved one is struggling with addiction. It is especially heartbreaking when the person denies the problem and resists help.
Some families hesitate to intervene, worried it might damage their relationship, or hold onto the misconception that their loved one must 'hit rock bottom' first. This uncertainty only prolongs the suffering for both the individual and the family, leaving everyone feeling trapped in the cycle of addiction. Intervention, however, offers a way to break this cycle and restore balance to the family dynamic, creating an opportunity for change.

Common Fears
"I will push my loved one further away"
Families often hesitate to pursue an intervention due to various fears, with a common one being that their loved one will respond with anger or defensiveness, ultimately rejecting the help offered. This apprehension grows as they worry about damaging the relationship or making the situation worse.
Shame or embarrassment surrounding their loved one’s addiction can also create a barrier, making it difficult to start the conversation or seek professional help.
Whatever the fear or hesitation, these barriers prevent proactive action, allowing the addiction to continue unchecked.
"I don't understand how it will work"
Another common concern families face is the fear of the unknown. They may feel uncertain about what the intervention process involves, especially after hearing horror stories of unsuccessful 'do-it yourself' interventions.
Fear can be a powerful obstacle. However, at its core, intervention is a powerful act of love, and with the right professional guidance, fosters postive outcomes.
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
