The Key to a Successful Family Intervention

The family intervention checklist is a guide for preparing an intervention for alcohol and/or drug addiction in order to get a person into appropriate treatment. Choose a detail person for at the family intervention.

• Choose a team chairperson, normally the family interventions specialist.
• Discuss the importance of not alerting the alcoholic to the intervention plans.
• Create a plan likely to guarantee the alcoholic’s or drug addict’s presence at the intervention.
• Identify objections the alcoholic or drug addict may use to avoid or postpone treatment, then formulate your answers.
• Plan to arrive at the family intervention location 30 minutes before the alcoholic drug addict is expected to be there.
• If the client intervention is taking place at the alcoholic’s or drug addict’s home, arrive as a group.
• Collect all letters and send them to the alcoholic’s or drug treatment counselor.
• Intervention is the most powerful tool to help someone struggling with alcohol or drug addiction.

Family Intervention For Troubled Youth

There are many teenagers and young adults in treatment facilities and troubled youth camps across the nation who come from terrible home lives where one or both parents are drug addicts, alcoholics, or abusers, but there are just as many troubled youths who come from families who seem perfectly normal and stable. Family intervention can take many forms. Some youth workers and counselors think family intervention is so important, in fact, that they require it of the families who enroll children in their residential treatment facilities for troubled youth. If parents want their children to complete the program, they, too, must work to fix the problems at home that might be causing some of the child’s pain and frustration. Family intervention can improve the family dynamic even in divorced or separated families, teaching parents to work as a team to understand their child and to build her up instead of tearing her down.

It might just be the best parenting decision you ever make.
