Drug
Addiction Intervention
An drug addict usually does
not know he is out of control. He looks at his drug-using peers and his own
use appears normal in comparison. He needs objective feedback on his behavior.
It was once thought that
an alcoholic or other drug abuser had to "hit bottom" before help
could be offered and accepted; that a drug addict could only get better if he
was self-motivated to change. This has changed to the view that a skilled professional
counselor can motivate an addict toward recovery. This is called intervention.
Drug addiction intervention
is a process that helps an addict recognize the extent of his problem. Through
a non-judgmental, non-critical, systematic process, the drug addict is confronted
with the impact of his alcoholism or drug use on others. The goal of drug addiction
intervention is for him to accept the reality of his drug addiction and to seek
help.
Q)
If an addict is unwilling to seek help, is there any way to get him into
treatment?
A) This can be a
challenging situation. An addict cannot be forced to get help except under certain
circumstances, such as when a violent incident results in police being called
or following a medical emergency. This doesnt mean, however, that you
have to wait for a crisis to make an impact. Based on clinical experience, many
treatment specialists recommend the following steps to help an addict accept
treatment.
The Steps
of Drug Addiction Intervention
1. Stop all rescue
missions. Family members often try to protect an addict from the results
of his behavior by making excuses to others about his addiction problem and
by getting him out of drug-related jams. It is important to stop all such rescue
attempts immediately, so that the addict will fully experience the harmful effects
of his useand thereby become more motivated to stop.
2. Dont enable him.
Sometimes family members feel sorry for the addict or tend to avoid the addict,
let him come and go as he pleases. This comes across to the addict as a rewardafter
all, all he wants is to be left alone. Be careful not to reward by paying his
bills, bailing him out of jail, letting him stay for free, etc. This kind of
reward creates out exchange and criminal behavior.
3. Time your drug addiction
intervention. If possible, plan to talk with the addict when he is straight,
when all of you are in a calm frame of mind and when you can speak privately.
4. Be specific. Tell the
family member that you are concerned about his drug or alcohol addiction and
want to be supportive in getting help. Back up your concern with examples of
the ways in which his drug use has caused problems for you, including any recent
incidents.
5. State the consequences.
Tell the family member that until he gets help, you will carry out consequencesnot
to punish the addict, but to protect yourself from the harmful effects of the
addiction. These may range from refusing to be with the person when they are
under the influence, to having them move out of the house. Do NOT make any threats
you are not prepared to carry out. The basic intention is to make the addicts
life more uncomfortable if he continues using drugs than it would be for him
to get help.
6. Find strength in numbers
with the help of family members, relatives and friends to confront the addict
as a group but choose one person to be the initial spokesperson. It will be
much more effective for the others to simply be there nodding their heads, than
it would be for everyone to talk at once and gang up on him. Remember
the idea is to make it safe for him to come clean and seek help.
7. Listen. If during your
drug addiction intervention the addict begins asking questions like; Where would
I have to go? For how long? This is a sign that he is reaching for help. Do
not directly answer these questions. Instead have him call in to talk to a professional.
Support him. Dont wait. Once youve gotten his agreement, get him
admitted immediately. Therefore, you should have a bag packed for him, any travel
arrangements made and prior acceptance into a program.
