Intervention Angel

As with other similar substance abuse interventions, the drug addiction intervention requires caution and medical safety. Drugs, both prescription and illicit, can produce extremely negative side effects when a person withdraws from them. As matter of fact, the side effects from withdrawal is one of the reasons many addicts relapse when they attempt to get clean. These negative side effects are potentially nausea, vomiting, seizure, heart attack, stroke, insomnia and other medically serious conditions. A person suffering from drug addiction must stop taking drugs and start recovery but they must also approach this correctly to avoid potential medical danger. Our drug addiction interventionist will guide you through seeking medical assistance in the withdrawal phase of recovery as well as help you avoid the common pitfalls associated with this necessity.

A drug addiction intervention should be systematic. There is an actual method of working with a person addicted to drugs that helps them make the transition from current user to willing to get help and then getting that help. Far too often families seek to skip key steps in this process, usually not even knowing there are steps, and the person addicted leaves in frustration and continues their drug or alcohol usage. As anyone who has been addicted will tell you, the addiction is deep and far reaching. Though it may seem rational to simply tell a person to pull themselves up by their boot straps and stop this non sense, in real life very few things are as difficult as doing that. That’s why it is called addiction and that’s why really good people give up their lives, their families and more for the drug of their choice.
