What is an intervention?

"An intervention is a caring, deliberate, and well-conceived event, through which people who care express their concern. It is a safe and intentional opportunity for them to reflect back to their loved one the ramifications of his or her behavior on themselves and others, and to present a plan to change and get help in ways that will address the causes and alleviate the suffering of all involved. With the skilled assistance of an interventionist, the experience creates the opportunity to interrupt destructive patterns of living or deal constructively with a crisis situation." Jeff VanVonderen, Interventionist

Addiction Intervention Resources (A.I.R.) is a national organization of professional intervention specialists, counselors and consultants who provide fast and effective crisis management services through a proven protocol of education, action and healing. This organization specializes in addressing addiction-related crises resulting from alcohol, drugs, eating disorders, sexual addiction, and gambling, among other addictions. A.I.R. has offices strategically located across the country to quickly and efficiently reach and service clients located anywhere in the U.S. Addiction, A.I.R. argues, is a disease characterized by denial. An addicted person will deny, often in the face of unimaginable consequences, that he or she is sick and even if the individual recognizes that a problem exists, he or she is typically unable or unwilling to ask for help. Intervention is the best way to make help available to those struggling with addictions. 92% of those intervened on choose to go to treatment and have the opportunity to change their lives.

Addiction Intervention Resources, Inc. has provided A&E with the following guidelines and bullet points.

National Intervention Referrals is one organization that provides intervention services for families and individuals who are struggling with addiction, alcoholism and other forms of crisis. Their intervention services include adult, executive and teen interventions, as well as transport services and crisis interventions. At N.I.R. they believe that drug and alcohol abuse can be overcome by facing the problem head on, in a caring but firm manner. Once a successful intervention has occurred their staff continues to support family and friends throughout the rehabilitation process. While confronting denial can be an extremely sensitive and difficult course of action, it is a necessary step in the process toward recovery. N.I.R. is committed to individualized, loving and successful drug and alcohol interventions.
