ANGEL INTERVENTION Intervention Services 1-866-648-7609
When is it time to do an intervention?
If
you have been told to wait until your loved one hits "bottom" and is
ready for help, you may be making a bad decision. By the time it is
apparent that a person has a problem with drugs or alcohol they have
already begun to damage themselves physically, their personal
reputation, and their family relationships. Addiction is a progressive
illness and the damages and consequences only increase as time passes.
What are the dangers of waiting for them to hit bottom?
Many
who have contacted us for intervention have already waited to long.
Their loved ones have lost their jobs, spouses have left them and
children have suffered from the loss of a parent that although present
is emotionally unavailable or worse. Many more have even more serious
issues; arrests for dui and possesion, felony convictions, near death
experiences from accidental overdose and more.
Will an intervention work for your loved one?
We
often hear from the families we work with "You will never convince them
to go to treatment". They say this because they have tried
unsuccessfully to get the person the help they need.. Over 95% of
interventions done by professional interventionists are successful and
result in the addicted person going to treatment. Why? Because the
majority of good interventionist are former addicts and alcoholics. They
understand what the addict is experiencing having been there
themselves. They know that an addicted person is not having fun anymore,
they are in fact ashamed of thier situation and the fact that they cant
stop. They also know that there is a way out and can relate that to the
addict or alcoholic in a manner that is real to them.
What should you do?
Dont
wait for the problem to get worse. Call now for a private consultation
with one of our Intervention Specialists. Let us help you to stop
worrying and get your loved one the help they need.
If
you need intervention services for a family member or loved
one, call 1-866-648-7609 for a confidential consultation with a

As an Intervention Specialist I encounter so many families who are struggling to make a choice for treatment. Correct and useful guidance from counselors that are available to actually spend some time with you is key.
I have done my research let me tell you and what I have discovered about the programs available within these United States is staggering. For the most part available programs are some semblance of 12 steps in some obscure way. And yes, these type programs do work for some but not for all. Which leads me to the point that you must find the right program for each individual or you could be suffering through an addiction with your loved one for a very long time. As long as they survive, while they are addicted, the family suffers as much if not more than the addict. Watching someone you love slowly destroy themselves could be the most painful thing a family ever witnesses.
