If you have a loved one struggling with alcoholism and denying that a problem exists you might need professional help. Denial can manifest in several ways and include the alcoholic's assertion that his drinking does not negatively affect his relationships or work performance.

If you have exhausted your options and have not been able to have your loved one get the help he/she needs to get sober you will need to intervene and get an Intervention arranged.

A trained interventionist can assist loved ones in planning an intervention that is done in a safe and loving manner. An intervention usually occurs when family and friends come together to tell the addicted individual they would like him to go into treatment.. You will be guided by your INTERVENTIONIST, who will give you support, validate your concerns, and provide guidance thorough the INTERVENTION process.

Preparation Step is a time in which you and everyone else involved in the INTERVENTION will write letters to the alcoholic or addict, describing your concerns, your feelings, the purpose for the intervention, and your hope for the future. You will also pack appropriate clothes and necessities for the individual who will enter a treatment facility.

When your loved one arrives he/she might get angry, surprised, or defensive. You might have a difficult time or an easy time, sharing your intentions of this INTERVENTION. You interventionist will explain your loved one the pain he/she has cause the family/friends, the treatment options available to him/her and the consequences of not going into alcoholism treatment.

Remember—you can’t make a person deal with a drinking problem. But you can offer support and arrange an intervention.
