Drug Interventionists in South Florida

Drug addiction and dysfunctional drug abuse are widespread issues throughout the U.S. In fact, roughly 24 million Americans qualify for a diagnosis of one of these conditions. That includes hundreds of thousands of people living in Florida. Some people with drug problems don’t have to be encouraged to seek needed treatment. However, for various reasons, many others either don’t understand that they need help or resist entering rehab. 

If this is true for your loved one affected by drug addiction, what can you do? In some cases, you may need to consider staging an intervention. That’s the term for an organized attempt to encourage an unaware or resistant person to seek substance treatment. You can attempt to hold an intervention on your own. However, you may be much better off seeking out the services of a trained drug interventionist. Professionals with this title specialize in providing intervention guidance and oversight.

Need the help of professional drug interventionists in South Florida? You can find it at Calusa Recovery. We specialize in intervention services for anyone with loved ones affected by addiction. With our help, you can significantly increase your friend or family member’s odds of entering an appropriate treatment program.

What to Do When Your Loved One Won't Seek Treatment

Research shows that only a small percentage of people in need of substance treatment enter a specialized rehab program. The vast majority of those who fail to seek treatment don’t think that they need help. That includes people who genuinely believe that they don’t have a problem. It also includes people who know that something’s wrong but still deny the reality of their situation.

Ideally, your loved one affected by drug addiction will enter treatment without any outside encouragement or persuasion. But the current professional consensus is that treatment can work even in the absence of this kind of independent motivation. Often, the outside source of motivation to change is an intervention staged by family members or close friends.

Have questions about the effectiveness of intervening when your loved one won’t seek needed treatment? The experts at Calusa Recovery can answer them.

The Basics of an Intervention

An intervention is designed to help your loved one enter some kind of suitable treatment program. Depending on your situation, that person may either:

  • Lack of awareness that their substance use has become problematic
  • Be in denial about the impact of drug use on themselves and others

During an intervention, you may be asking your loved one to do something they don’t want to do. However, the goal of the process is not confrontation in the classic sense of the word. Instead, it’s intended to help you and your loved one come to an agreement on their need to seek rehab. An intervention for drug addiction is basically the same as an intervention for alcoholism. The only real difference is the substance acting as the source of your friend or family member’s problems.

An intervention takes place in a series of coordinated steps. Highlights of these steps include:

  • Creating a thorough plan that follows established best practices 
  • Learning more about your loved one’s form of addiction, as well as suitable treatment options for it
  • Deciding who should be present when the intervention is staged
  • Determining the kinds of consequences you will impose if your loved one doesn’t seek help
  • Practicing what to say during the intervention, as well as how to say it
  • Holding the actual intervention
  • Taking next steps that depend on the outcome of the intervention

    I’ve been in recovery for over a year now and have met a lot of people along the way. Stuart and Wilbur are genuine about wanting to help someone struggling with alcohol or drugs. Me being one of them. I’ve seen a few sober houses along the way and Calusa recovery is by far the best sober living I’ve come across. They show you how to have fun in recovery and live life sober. The houses they have are awesome and clean! Highly recommend them. It changed my life!

      Calusa Recovery was recommended to us as being a top sober living home. Meeting Stuart, Wilbur, and the impeccable house confirmed this to be true. Stuart and Wilbur are truly invested in all aspects of their clients’ recovery. We value their collaborative approach with clients and family.

Calusa pushes you to be a responsible young man but does it in a way of caring and helping you find self love. Highly recommend for any young man wanting to take the next step to better himself and his future.

          How Professional South Florida Drug Interventionists Can Help

          One of the best things you can do is to seek professional assistance for your upcoming intervention. Some professionals train and work as full-time interventionists. Others have more diverse credentials and offer intervention help along with other services. People in this second category may include:

          • Psychologists
          • Addiction specialists
          • Mental health or addiction counselors
          • Social workers

          Whatever their specific credentials, an experienced professional can promote successful outcomes at every step of the intervention process. For example, during the planning stage, an interventionist can help ensure that your decisions support the essential goals of an intervention. Access to a trained professional also makes it easier for you to learn more about addiction and its treatment.

          Input from an interventionist can help you assemble the best possible team of participants for the actual intervention. Your chosen professional may also serve as a member of that team. In either case, they can help you practice and role-play in preparation for your upcoming meeting. Finally, an interventionist can help you make wise decisions in the aftermath of your intervention. That’s true whether or not your loved one decides to enter treatment.

          Tips for a Successful Drug Intervention

          While they can be highly effective, drug interventions don’t always work. Sometimes, the person who is the focus of a well-designed intervention may simply refuse to get help. However, in many cases, poor outcomes stem from a lack of adequate planning and execution.

          How can you increase the odds that an intervention will have its desired effects? Experts recommend taking advantage of a range of useful tips, including such things as:

          • Not skimping on the planning process for your intervention
          • Only holding an intervention at times when your loved one is at ease and either completely sober or not heavily intoxicated
          • Making sure that you firmly grasp the concepts of addiction and addiction treatment
          • Picking one person to lead your intervention preparation
          • Rehearsing your intervention in as much detail as possible
          • Knowing how your loved one might respond to being the focus of an intervention
          • Steering clear of a confrontational or argumentative approach
          • Staying focused on the ultimate goal of the intervention
          • Seeking an immediate response from your loved one rather than putting results off until a later time
          • Following up that response by carrying out your chosen consequences for not seeking treatment or by helping your loved one choose and enter a rehab program

          A drug interventionist can help you make the most of these supportive suggestions. To find out more, contact Calusa Recovery today.
