How do you help a family member, friend or colleague who has a drug and or alcohol abuse problem but refuses to admit they have a problem or refuses to get help... If a family member or close friend has a drinking or drug problem, and you’ve tried talking to them, what do you do?
The answer is a proven, effective method called an intervention. An intervention is a well-planned meeting between the afflicted person and a small group of concerned friends and family members. An intervention is the best way to help someone who refuses to see the impact their drug or alcohol use is having on themselves and the people around them. By planning and doing an intervention, you can break through and get them the help they so desperately need. They are always handled in a loving, caring manner. A professionally handled Intervention is, by far, the most effective way of successfully conducting an intervention.

Denial is a good term to describe the state of mind the person abusing drugs and or alcohol. They deny to themselves and the other people in their lives they have a problem. Interventions are designed to break the barrier of denial. An intervention is a proven process that has helped thousands of families and friends break the "Barrier of Denial" surrounding a person who is concealing or denying their drug or alcohol abuse.
