An intervention is designed to help an individual struggling with addiction realize the impact their behavior has on themselves and their loved ones, and encourage them to seek professional help. The intervention typically involves family members, friends, and sometimes even coworkers, who work together with an intervention specialist to engage the individual about their struggles and encourage them to seek treatment. During the intervention, those involved may share their concerns and emotions, specific examples of how the addiction has affected them personally, and offer support and encouragement to move forward.
The goal of an intervention is to create a safe and supportive environment, free of judgment or blame, so the individual feels motivated and empowered to make the necessary changes to their life.
