What are Drug Interventions?

Drug interventions or addiction interventions are designed to help individuals suffering from alcohol or drug abuse realize that they have a problem. The goal is to get the person to agree to treatment in an addiction treatment program or facility. Addiction and drug interventions are often a group of meetings that aim to accomplish this task, sometimes with the help of an interventionist. Addiction interventions may be used for addictions to anything from drugs or alcohol to sex, food, gambling or even shopping.

Drug interventions are a positive and supportive way of allowing friends and family to express their concerns for a loved-one. Involving a professional interventionist is a good idea because he or she can teach the members of the group what to expect from the person suffering from a drug addiction and how to deal with it. Often times, a script or lists are used to keep emotions under control and make the meeting more effective.
