Intervention
- How you can help!
A drug addict usually doesn't know he/she is out
of control. He looks at his drug-using peers and his own use appears normal
in comparison. He needs objective feedback on his behavior.
It was once thought that an alcoholic or other drug
abuser had to "hit bottom" before help could be offered and accepted.
It was also thought that a drug addict could only get better if he was self-motivated
to change. This point of view has changed to the view that a skilled counselor
can motivate an addict toward recovery. This is called intervention.
Intervention is a process
that helps an addict recognize the extent of his problem. Through a non-judgmental,
non-critical, systematic process, the drug addict is confronted with the impact
of his alcoholism or drug use on others. The goal of intervention is for him to
accept the reality of his drug addiction and to seek help. STEPS
OF INTERVENTION
Q) If an addict
is unwilling to seek help, is there any way to get him into treatment?
A) This can be a challenging situation. An addict
cannot be forced to get help except under certain circumstances, such as when
a violent incident results in the police being called or following a medical
emergency. This doesn’t mean, however, that you have to wait for a crisis
to make an impact. Based on clinical experience, many treatment specialists
recommend the following steps to help an addict accept treatment:
1. Stop all “rescue missions.”
Family members often try to protect an addict from the results of his behavior
by making excuses to others about his addiction problem and by getting him out
of drug-related jams. It is important to stop all such rescue attempts immediately,
so that the addict will fully experience the harmful effects of his use—and
thereby become more motivated to stop.
2. Don’t enable him. Sometimes family members
feel sorry for the addict or tend to avoid the addict, letting him come and
go as he pleases. This comes across to the addict as a reward—after all,
all he wants is to be left alone. Be careful not to reward by paying his bills,
bailing him out of jail, letting him stay for free, etc. This kind of reward
creates an exchange that benefits the addict and promotes criminal behavior.
3. Time your intervention. If possible, plan to
talk with the addict when he is straight. Pick a time when all of you are in
a calm frame of mind and when you can speak privately.
4.
Be specific. Tell the family member that you are concerned about his addiction
and want to be supportive in getting help. Back up your concern with examples
of the ways in which his drug use has caused problems for you, including any recent
incidents.
5. State the consequences. Tell the family member
that until he gets help, you will carry out consequences. This is not intended
to punish the addict, but to protect yourself from the harmful effects of the
addiction. These may range from refusing to be with the person when they are
under the influence, to having them move out of the house. DO NOT make any threats
you are not prepared to carry out. The basic intention is to make the addict’s
life more uncomfortable if he continues using drugs than it would be for him
to get help.
6. Find strength in numbers with the help of family
members, relatives, and friends to confront the addict as a group. Choose one
person to be the initial spokesperson. It will be much more effective for the
others to simply be there nodding their heads, than it would be for everyone
to talk at once and “gang up on him.” Remember the idea is to make
it safe for him to come clean and seek help.
7. Listen. If during your intervention the addict
begins asking questions like; Where would I have to go? For how long? This is
a sign that he is reaching for help. Do not directly answer these questions.
Instead, have him call in and talk to a professional. Support him. Don’t
wait. Once you’ve gotten his agreement, get him admitted immediately. Therefore,
you should have a bag packed for him, any travel arrangements made, and prior
acceptance into a program.
