Drug Abuse Intervention
The hardest types of drug intervention are those where the addict abuses drugs heavily. Once an addict reaches the point of abusing any heavy narcotics or substance, they are considered severe addicts and need an intervention. A drug intervention is not easy and the interventionist, friends, and family involved in the drug intervention will have a hard and emotional road ahead of them. This doesn’t mean that drug intervention will be impossible. In fact, when an addict is too deep into their habit, they have lost track of their life, might realize they are in a dire situation, and just need that push in the right direction toward rehabilitation.
The Emotional Dependency
Drug Abuse is not just physical, it is also emotional. Those dependent on drugs find it emotionally straining and believe it is not possible for them to live their lives sober. In most cases, severe drug abuse is caused by a chemical imbalance that manifests into emotional pain. Addicts will then rely on their drug intake to help them deal with daily issues, regardless of their severity. These individuals will typically lack the emotional control and ability to regulate their lives without drugs. The good news is drug interventions can and do work.
Getting Started
Before hiring an interventionist, you need to ensure the drug intervention will take. Though it is frightening to admit your loved one has an addiction problem, drug intervention only works when you are able to admit to yourself that your loved one does indeed have a substance abuse problem.
Look for signs of drug usage that include:
- Excessive mood swings
- Unreliability
- Stealing
- Excessive lying
- Isolation
- Difficulty concentrating
- Back and forth emotions of denial about taking the drugs
No matter how upsetting it is to admit, the good news is that drug addiction can be treated.

The Intervention Process
When you speak to a Lifeline Intervention representative, you will be provided with the steps necessary to help your loved one through the drug intervention.
Stop Making Excuses – A drug intervention is not a time to make excuses for your loved one. Both of you have to admit there is a problem.
Stop Enabling – As long as your loved one knows you will enable their behavior, they will not take the steps to stop it.
Understanding the Consequences – Realize that there are consequences to drug intervention and we will help you understand and cope with each of them.
Select Your Group –Your group for the drug intervention should include family, friends, and even coworkers who care about your loved one.
…and, most importantly, LISTEN! We will teach you how to listen to your loved one during their intervention and how to react to what is said.
