Many people who have a loved one with an alcohol or drug addiction problem wonder if they should stage an intervention. This is a difficult decision they may try to avoid, hoping that their loved one will realize that a problem exists and take care of it on their own. The fact is, denial is a strong component of addiction and chances are the addict will not admit that there is a problem. Waiting too long to contact an professional interventionist should be consulted early in the process. The interventionist will determine if the loved one is a good candidate for intervention. If an intervention is in order, the interventionist will help with all the details of the intervention meeting, including who should be present, where it should be held, and what course of treatment will be suggested to the subject of the intervention.
