Understanding Addiction and Interventions

“Start your journey with a foundational understanding of addiction and the intervention process. These videos explain the why and how of interventions, helping families take the first steps toward recovery with confidence.”

Why Families Wait to Intervene

It is common knowledge within the intervention field that over 80% of clients who are intervened on end up agreeing to enter treatment. However, less than 5% of family members who reach out an inquire about family interventions actually end up having an intervention done on their loved one. Which means that it is easier to convince an unwilling addict or alcoholic to enter treatment then it is to convince a family to let us do it.

What Can I Say to Convince Them to Quit

“What Can I Say to Convince Them to Quit” explores why addressing addiction through words alone is often ineffective and highlights the importance of understanding addiction as a form of avoidance. It delves into how addicts instinctively manipulate emotions like hope, guilt, sympathy, and fear to maintain their patterns of avoidance, making it challenging for families to set boundaries. The video also emphasizes how family members often disagree on the nature of addiction and its solutions, creating disunity that the addict can exploit. Ultimately, the workshop stresses that trying to handle addiction alone is nearly impossible and advocates for a professional-led, unified approach to recovery, where families learn to work together to enforce boundaries and let the addict face the natural consequences of their actions.

Viewers will gain tools to recognize manipulation, maintain resilience, and stay focused on fostering recovery, all while protecting their own emotional well-being.

Interventions Help the Entire Family – Not Just the Addict

Addiction not only hurts the entire family but it takes a toll on the entire family. A family will see a loved one decline in health, lie, steal and manipulate all family members. It comes to a point that the family needs support and understanding. With an Intervention the family becomes educated and learns about addiction and how to fight it and save their addicted loved one. Kevin Lee, co-founder of Intervention Services speaks frankly on how families need help in this time of crisis. “We not only help the addict but also help the family” to understand and understand what to do next.

Every family is enabling addiction in some way. Kevin Lee, co-founder of Intervention Services speaks frankly on how his family continued to sacrifice everything, all in the name of love. And how it wasn’t until they learned how (their) “our helping was hurting” that the situation began to truly change.
